That would be nice. For some reason Ive never seen a service manual for my bike, thats actually why I went with the haynes manual in the first place. The haynes is a great help, but it doesnt do any real troubleshooting.

I changed out the plugs this afternoon and also double checked all the hoses, lines, wires, connections, and fuses and still cant get it to run. As of right now Im just trying to find someone with a trailer or truck to get the bike to the dealer and just let them fix it and charge me out the ass for it.

If you have a home depot near by some have trucks you can rent pretty cheap.

I actually work at Home Depot but thats kind of a last resort since itd be a pain in the ass to get the bike up into the truck but its a possibility. Im seeing if I can find something with a tow hitch and see if any local uhaul has motorcycle trailers.

Rather than hauling to a dealer and paying out the ass, haul it down here!

I was thinking about that. If wideopen thinks he can fix it I may do just that but Im completely out of ideas right now.

Hit the free user button, and go grab a beer, it takes a few minutes to download.

There's a section for diagnosing problems via the Tach, starting on page 60 of Chapter 8.

I didn't read the whole thing, but you might have a bad throttle position sensor.

Good luck, brother. I know how frustrating this can be. Hopefully that manual tells you something.


And if you do end up taking it to the shop...are there any good independent shops around? Rather than Yami dealers. They are most definately cheaper and probly do better work.

The only one that I know of is a motorcycle performance shop that I was going to check into. I know that they do a lot of performance stuff and race type bikes but I dont know if they do regular fixes though.
