Ongoing Saga: Had some missing and the consensus was fuel. Ran StarTron, switched to Non-Ethanol, bumped up to Premium, no difference. OK, so its plugs. Took the bike in and they replaced the plugs. In doing so found that my radiator was leaking out from around the top bolts. Aside: The bottom two bolts on my radiator were not there. I have never removed them nor was there any reason for them to have been removed. The vibration caused by there not being there broke the solder on the top bolts. Ugggh! More Saga: Replaced the radiator. 3 miles from the shop it is missing again and I return. They are cool and I spend an hour with the head mechanic troubleshooting. Best guess at this point is that there is a faulty coil There are two, one for the front cylinder and one for the rear. The rear appears to be the issue. He had a tool I hadnt seen before, an inline spark detector that allowed us to see an intermittent spark failure in the rear cylinder. The rear coil and new wiring is on order. Keep what you need, return the rest. I want my bike back!
