to be honest, there are more expensive things that it could have been... but I don't get why they can't get you just 1 coil from another "junk" bike or something...

Cause it's the dealership, their process of repair, usually is replace all components in a system that could be causing said problem, vs only replacing the one known problem once found.

Pretty much. He started on with the stuff about not knowing if used electrical parts like that would last or if theyd just crap out after a week too.

Dang I should have guessed coil! j/k Sorry to hear that but at least it'll be fixed and hopefully they took a look at everything else.

I had a couple people guess it could be the coils but it was on the list with a timing issue as something I didnt want to mess with.

Coils... hmm... I think that was one of our first guesses....

Did you get the bike back yet?

No the dealer doesnt stock any electrical parts so they had to order them. They said hopefully this weekend or early next week at the latest.
