faulty wiring or some shit is what the dealer is saying, dealer is charging him $90 an hour to look at it. After 4 hours they told the dealer to give up. RIPOFF!!

My friend Zach had a XB9R and had the motor blow twice, he now owns an 08 600RR.

My bike runs great so who gives a fuck.

Holy crap. I might pay someone $90/hr to fix something, but to look at it? I heard it was running super rich. And Colorado Springs is at 7,000 feet. Most sensors have resistance that has to be in a certain range. Just about every sensor, switch and connector on the bike can probably be tested by a competent mechanic in an hour. I'd have a good idea what was wrong if it was carbed. Why couldn't they figure out what was wrong with the FI?
