I am starting to hate this bike
One problem after another.
I finally get it running after a month of sitting at home after the accident. It runs fine for two weeks. Then this morning she starts acting up.
I was cruising on the highway on my way to school. I then noticed that the engine was begginging to make a ticking noise (sounded like from the front cylinder). The noise got louder and louder. The power began to fade for about a second. Then as I slowed for traffic the thing just died. I immediately pull over on the shoulder and visually inspect it. Oil level seems right. I have gas. Coolant is fine. I then get on the cell phone to call my girlfriend to come and get me. I step away from the bike because the passing cars are too loud. Then a big rig passes by pretty fast. I guess the wind gust from the rig was pretty stong and it blew the bike over (so much for my BRAND NEW Motostyle sliders. at least they worked
) So i pick it up
and walk it to an exit i just passed about a half a mile back. I bring it to the gas station there and take out the took kit. I start to work on the allen bolts holding the gas tank down so that i may visually inspect the airbox. Apparently i overtightened the bolts the last time. Needless to say I rounded them off
. I needed to get to class for a midterm that I am not able to postpone. So I leave the bike at the gas station and have my girl bring me to school.
I am at home now waiting for my buddy to bring his truck so we can go get it. i have two papers to write for tomorrow and i dont have time for this $#!+.
