Well you know it will work out for you in the end. Thank God it's not a DeLorean.

true true lol


update update update!!! may have found the cause. after testing all the peramiters and finding nothing out of place, the tech did a leak down test on the head.................. 2 valves are not closing all the way with a 40% leakdown on one of the valves. so, my shop is putting in for a new head from the manufacturer. i should here today if it is approved and how soon they will get the parts. ah!!! i hope this cures it and that all goes smooth with warranty and all that as it should.

SWEET! Ask them to keep the head long enough to show you. You can prove it out by inverting the head, and filling the combustion chamber w/ Brake clean. If there is ANY defect or leak it will seep thru the valve.
That's how I test them.

Finally after what seems like an eternity, almost 2 months. I have scoot-zilla back and shes running better and stronger than ever. As mentioned the valves were faulty and they found at the end that something had got sucked up into and emissions line around the charcoal canisters that was blocking the air flow. Pretty much guaranteed that was the cause for the random choking out at a stop after a long hwy haul. But the way everything trickled down, It has a whole mew top end, throttle body, sensors, etc and all under warranty as it should be. Im just so glad to have it back and be on 2 wheels again.

Son of a ! $!//^#*/((**#:'&^^@&$(/((#!!!!!!!
Finally got my bike back a few weeks ago after 2 months in the shop. All fixed and good and the fuel pump goes out. Completely unrelated to the previous issue but seriously!!!  Was doing fine, started fine, then stopped and met my wife for dinner after work, went back out and all of a sudden the fuel pump wont prime. It clicks and get power but doesnt buzz (priming sound).  So its in the shop yet again. Atleast this time we know what the problem is.
