I think its dying.... : (
I have a bad feeling my vf just took its last breath. But the circumstances seem extremely weird.
I got off work yesterday evening and decided to get out for a quick jaunt since it was so nice out. I only expected to be out for about a half hour and get some gas. Bike ran great, and got to the gas station. Filled her up with fresh 89. Started up fine, and rode for another 8 minutes or so. I made a left hand turn onto the country road that leads like 5 miles to my house, and the bike didn't react to the throttle and died (ironically in the parking lot of a shut down Harley bar. ) Hit the starter, bike wouldnt take. Put the choke on, hit the starter, bike wouldn't take. I started to wear the battery down, so I called my buddy to help me push start it. I've push started this bike a million times, so I know what feels right and what doesn't. On the very first push I knew something wasn't right. It almost feels like the motor or tranny is seized. When he dumped the clutch, instead of rolling the motor over, the rear wheel just locks and slides. But I rolled into the parking lot on both engine and in gear??? I'm just so fu**ing confused, tired, and pissed. I almost want to sell the bike right now and wash my hands of it. I love the 500 to death and would love to buy a mint model down the line, but this bike is such a hassle. I didn't end up having "deep enough credit" to get the gsx650f, even though I have a 710 something credit score. Credit is fucking retarded. I dont know what to do....
