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.

I questioned that myself with it only having 6k miles. The only thing is the bike is 9 years old and Ive only owned it for a little over 2 of those years so I have no clue how it was stored or anything from the first 7 of its life. Im hoping to have a new bike by the beginning of next season at the latest so Im not super worried, I just want to actually ride.

I think the same thing...but if it runs when he gets it back, Fuck it. :lol:

So, you get it back yet?

They finally got the parts and finished it tonight. Im going to pick it up tomorrow afternoon. I get to pay $430 to ride it home 15 miles in the rain.

$430 = damn!!!!!!

Do me a favor, ask them for your old parts when you pick it up. By law in most states they have to give them to you. When I look at the microfiche, I only see two coils that cost $50 each, the plug wires that are about $50 and maybe they replaced the plugs ($10) while they were in there...:idk: It could just be a bad pic/fiche but be sure bro!

Unbelievable.

That would honestly be "UN FUCKIN BELIEVABLE"

You got that right.

Yea it's too bad. For $400 he could have replaced the entire ignition system, including the ECU if he found one used. Oh well live and learn!

Considered doing it myself but when it was $80 to find the issue already and over 200 for the parts I didnt bother doing it myself. And I dont like buying used electrical parts since I have no way of knowing if theyre gonna last more a week.

That's true enough! Well, I'm just glad that it worked out and you have your bike back!:rockwoot:

Hell yeah. Now if only these severe storms that theyre calling for would move on Id be all set.
