This is the second time the bike has died on me when I go to take off from a stop. But this time I was on a hill turning right with gear in the side cases. I was so close to home I could see my roof. The bike went over and I tried to save it, not a good idea. I pulled the hell out of my right hamstring and could not ride it home. I did pick the bike up and power through the turn and get out of the road in a lot of pain. Not sure why I pulled my hamstring, for work I hike into the woods up to 12 miles a day the first half of each month year round?? BUT!!! you can almost not tell that I put it down. A very small scratch on the right case and bar end. I am a little upset at both of us, the bike and I, for dropping it but I was to far into the turn going to slow to save it. Funny thing is I have an appointment for Friday to get the timing and TPS reset to maybe run a little better. Don't think I will be able to ride by then. My Dr. friend said I may be off the bike for a few weeks......I guess this is the right time to send the ECM out to Appleton LOL. Horr, down but not out! | ||

Did it cough and die or just die ? | ||

Horr-ible news.  I don't recall from the other threads, but you *have* had the BAS recall done? Very odd.... Hope the leg feels better quickly! (Message edited by smcnamara on July 26, 2007) | ||

TPS recall ? Are you thinking BAS recall ?  | ||

Thanks Lime. Fixed. I'm useless at the end of the day.  | ||

Thanks guys, little better today already. My BAS is in the tail of the bike so I don't think it is that. It was a cough and die. From day one I could not blip the throttle when I was at a stop or I would get a backfire from my intake. I still get them and I think I just got real unlucky and that happened at just the wrong time. I think also that I may have been a little soft on the gas, I have lifted the front up at that light many times due to the poor pavement job. Maybe a weekend with the family will make the leg feel well enough to throw over the bike? Horr | ||

Take your time healing you wouldn't want a repeat problem with the bad leg, that could be disastrous should it give out when you need it. | ||

Man, that sucks. Take care of that leg. |
