Thanks, I understand - but when you pay $1600 for a bike and it works like a charm when the PO is around, I am reluctant to spend $$$ on a mechanic shop when I have no means to get it there, and it started fine a few days ago. It must be something simple. I already spoke to a mechanic who said he can't look at it for at least another week, and also said its probably something simple and was reluctant to even BOOK ME IN! (ON that note, if anyone who reasd this is in Edmonton and can recommend a great mechanic, please do!) So diving into the manual I go, trying to find what 'simple' thing could be doing this. Someone told me it's because 'Mercury is in retrograde and it screws up electronics'.....lol.....maybe I'll tell that to the bike mechanic (and get kicked out the door!!)
Oh well, better to laugh than cry right? Next course I take is small engine repair....can't wait! Then I can try to help newbies that come after me, thanks to this forum. I won't tell them about mercury in retrograde
Anyhow - thanks again to all, when its running I will post a happy note
