Rather than hauling to a dealer and paying out the ass, haul it down here!

I was thinking about that. If wideopen thinks he can fix it I may do just that but Im completely out of ideas right now.

Here ya go...

Hit the free user button, and go grab a beer, it takes a few minutes to download.

There's a section for diagnosing problems via the Tach, starting on page 60 of Chapter 8.

I didn't read the whole thing, but you might have a bad throttle position sensor.

Good luck, brother. I know how frustrating this can be. Hopefully that manual tells you something.

And if you do end up taking it to the shop...are there any good independent shops around? Rather than Yami dealers. They are most definately cheaper and probly do better work.

The only one that I know of is a motorcycle performance shop that I was going to check into. I know that they do a lot of performance stuff and race type bikes but I dont know if they do regular fixes though.

Would that be MPH in Peninsula (or whatever the area is called near State 8)? Doug is a good guy. I'd take it there before a dealer. He and Erik raced together.

As far as Erik fixing your bike? Neither of know if he can or not. Personally, I think he could because he is good with stuff like that is why I keep pushing him and you. But it's like leading the horse to water, you can't make it drink...

Yep thats the place. I forgot that place was even there until I passed it after I went to state 8 to get new plugs.

I think Ive got it narrowed down to some sort of timing issue which is something that I dont plan on messing with so I think this time its going to the dealer. I really appreciate the offer but hopefully once this problem is fixed the only time Ill be heading down there is to go riding with you guys.
