For me, I found my bike somewhat unpredictable at low speeds, pushing in the corners, almost like riding a watermelon. Tried most of the suggestions on here including lowering the front end and installing a narrower front tire. I found raising the front and rear tire pressure to 40 psi made a HUGE difference in the way the bike handled! Night and day for me. Paul

Quick update. Managed to remove the bank angle sensor from it's perch high up in the gooseneck of the frame. Carefully opened it up to see why I might be getting the erratic resistance readings. 3 small brass pieces fell out. I am hoping this was the cause of all my grief this past month. I will compare the ohm readings with the new switch when it arrives later this week.

@videoarizona Dave, Thanks for the link, I read that post when I was searching earlier, and many more, lol. I have narrowed it down to a flaky bank angle sensor. I am getting resistance reading all over the map, from open to over 400 ohms. Ordered a new one. I will see if that keeps it running for more than 10 minutes. Looking at where it is located I am not looking forward to the job. I will let you know how it works out. We are running out of riding weather up here. Paul

Already installed the bypass relay, I have checked everything and done everything short of setting it on fire and pushing it off a cliff. I am beginning to think the used ignitor I purchased on Ebay may be faulty as well.

@InfinitySurf Thanks for the reply. I have installed the ignition switch bypass relay including the blue/yellow and blue/black wires that enable the ignitor. I'm just going to keep searching until I find the cause.

Gents, (and Ladies) Long story short, bike died on the road. Trailered it home. would crank but not start. found it to have no spark on all 4 plugs. Troubleshot all related components as per the manual, nothing faulty. It would have spark intermittently but just for a very short time. Ordered a replacement igniter. Replaced igniter, still no spark. (intermittently it would) replaced kickstand relay, bypassed ignition switch and check continuity through wiring to switches and related components. Nothing obvious. Bike will start cold and run for perhaps 30 seconds before loosing spark. Does this with both ignitors I have. I have searched and read a lot on this site and to me something is getting hot and opening or failing. Could it be both ignitors? One thing I am questioning is this. The resistance across the pick-up coils is 202 ohms (within spec). The voltage output when cranking the engine over is 1.6 volts AC. What should the output voltage be? Thanks, Paul
