Bad Bike Day

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. 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. Plus the sudden loss also bothers me... again I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
