  1. Got it figured out, front right wasn't firing. Fired her up and ran her for a min to warm them up to figure it out. Pulled plug wire and replaced it, working fine again. thanks for all the help. Still not 100% (gas) but that'll be fixed tomorrow when I run her out.
  2. ok, got it apart and looking at coils, but can't figure out which is #2 ..help please?
  3. appreciate the info, I'll look into it probably this weekend. As far as the mechanic goes, he's never steered me wrong in the past, and we're all human all make mistakes.
  4. Thanks for the replys, I thought it might be a bad ground, I'll have to tear into it when I've got more time. My dad talked to my bike mechanic that I normally take it to and he told me to drain the float bowls, if they're full of water it'll cause the tach to read zero so I'm going to start there and move on. I do plan on getting a membership down the road, but atm I'm unemployed that's why I was trying to get the bike up because I'm in school and spend $20 a day to drive to school lol (150 miles round trip, a day, m-f but almost done 3-1-17 is last day, thankfully)
  5. This is going into my third season of having the bike. Didn't need to do very much to it thus far, just the usual, oil, plugs etc. I parked it at the end of last season with her running fine. I pulled her out a few weeks ago when we had a nice weekend here in Indiana and I wasn't able to ride. She ran like garbage thought it was just water in take, poored some heet and all that. Let the bike idle for a little, and once she started getting warm (just past black line when first heating up on guage) she starts spitting and sputtering and RPMs go down to 0. If you try to ride, (again, thinking it was water and trying to blow it out) she'll spit and sputter randomly. I can feel all 4 hitting, then it drops off back fire etc. I put it away cuz weather went too cold again. I pulled her back out this week because weather is good again, and tried to ride with my borther around town to kill some gas and get it threw. Once it warmed up again (same spot, ish) I was coasting to a stop sign and she died. Fired back up no issues, but idled so low that it did it again, if I didn't keep reving it she died. On take off, I had to pull up RPMs to get it to slug to move. Pulled over at the local mall to let her cool down, and she was ok. I could limp her back home again type of thing.. I'm at a loss, I've changed the plugs, made sure the wires were fine, but...??? Also, on a side note. I don't know if it's related or not, but just to be on the safe side. I'm also starting to have electrical issues last season. The dash back lights, don't work. I've hit a few bumps or hit the high beam and they pop on, but once I kill the bike and restart they don't' work again. The radio is alos having issues, if I use the knob to turn it off all the way and then back on (Never tried immediately after doing it, not that I recall usually the next day etc.) the radio take a while to turn back on..? Thanks for any advice to where to look, I've tried to search the web, and this site and wasn't able to find any info..
