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.

No.... it's because they are a dealer and want to charge you out the ass for their service.

JoJo - check the bike over completely before you leave. Not once has Erik had a bike worked on at the dealer without something being screwed up on it.

I plan on it. If Im paying that much Ill be making sure everything is perfect. I actually dont even have my side fairings on the thing right now since I knew the dealer would be taking them off to work on it, one less thing that can get screwed up.

Hmmm, Coils going bad in 6k miles :skep:

Well, you'll know for sure once the they get your bike running again.

BTW, where did you take it?

So you have one of those new fangled bikes where each spark plug has it's own coil? One of my two coils went bad and my four-cylinder was still able to start and run on two cylinders. Crappy, but it ran. I just don't see how your bike couldn't start and run on three cylinders.

Yeah, my hubby was wondering the same. He thought it should run on 3 coils, but hell anything is possible I guess. We will find out soon enough if this fixed the problem.

One thing I know about "service techs", if they tested the first plug and got a weak spark and determined it was the coil... trust me, no other plugs were tested after that.:lol: I'm still mildly worried that it's something before the coil, I just don't know what to call it... unless, when one coil goes bad, it throws the whole system out of wack.... I'm with the guy that thinks this is unusual for a bike with 6000 miles on it as well. I can honestly say that I have never replaced a coil on a bike and my last GSXR had 42k on it when I traded it in.:idk: Plus the sudden loss also bothers me... again :idk: I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
