I bet I could make it work but it gets pretty weak if it sits more than a few days. Maybe I'll run to the shop this week and get one.

I went and had most of my electrical system replaced, next month will hopefully be attacking the rotor swap. need to look online and see if I can borrow that crankshaft locking tool.

Good deal. I'd still check your ignition switch to be sure that when you go from lock to lock that it's not pulling on the wires. I guess its a semi-common problem.

That is one nice thing about the 08, it had a somewhat reliable charging system. Not overly excessive for extra electrical stuff, but it could handle the stock bike easily.

Good to know, I iwll give it a look when I start pulling it apart. Its always my luck I wond up with the obscure problems

Damn son.

Solid work Cutty... you fixed it and we didn't help at all. Sweet!

tryin to russle up some pennies to do the dreaded rotor swap, then we should be good to go. new tires and freshen up the brakes and were tracking her.

Tires and brakes already? I thought you only had like 1500 miles on it?

Thanks, yeah, you guys are pretty helpful... :gofurslf: :lol:

Model specific forums are generally better for such problems, and thankfully I know where to find those as well.
That and having some decent mechanical background and ability.

3500 miles but am on the original pirellis and those are sliding on me so I will spoon on some michelins. As for the brakes they need a good bleeding and I occasionally get soem headshake with hard braking at higher speeds. I have heard that these bikes do osscilate at times so I wasnt sure if its that or a warped rotor, but for track duty I def want better pads on there anyway.
