With most of these newer bikes you need to be able to measure outputs from lambda sensors, O2 sensors, airflow sensors, throttle position sensors, god help you if you have a problem with ABS, Traction Control, fuel mapping.........

It all works great when it works.....it just sucks when it doesn't. I keep and ride the stuff that I can fix in my garage, or limp home after doing a roadside fix..in the rain....at night.......
People make fun of my old bike, but I know what's wrong with it when it dies before the truck comes to pick it up. I never have to worry about a shop screwing it up because it's too old for any shop to work on!!
