So . . . Lily had a little issue on SA in Lewiston, ID where she didn't want to start . . . took a while but she did.
Now, I gots me a bike no starty in the parking lot at work waiting for Wifezilla to come and pick me up! [bang]
Called Motocorsa and they can't come get her today. Called EDR and they'll check the PCIII out for free tomorrow. Called the towing company . . . they'll be here tomorrow at 9AM. Poor girl has to be out in the cold night . . .
So far I've been pretty pleased with EDR but I gotta tell you I called them 2 weeks ago about some issues I was having with fuel supply and they didn't call back. So I called again and they didn't call back. I was mostly OK with it becuase she started and/or kept running. Today though . . . with a "dead" bike in the parking lot I'm not so OK with their lack of response!
And since when does Motocorsa not come out and get you same day? WTF?
Anyone out there remember customer service?
i hate to ask, so what are symptoms? Its carbed right? Will it not turn over or just wont start up?
Yours doesnt have the immobilizer on it does it?
Turns over great. Won't start. After a few attempts smells like gas. MotoCorsa had me pull a plug last night and the socket was full of gas and the plug was black. No, she's EFI.
Of course it started right up this morning at EDR without any hesitation. They're going to look at the PCIII to see if it's that. If not Daric at Cheshire will pick her up.
Remind me next time Uhaul and not tow truck! G-zus I thought the $95 charge plus mileage was OK and with all the hassle, the cost of tie downs etc. that it would be close to a wash . . . WRONG!
$5 make the beast with two backsING a mile!!!
$170 to tow it from here to EDR!
I was so PISSED about the bike starting this morning! I know it's something that needs to get fixed but why couldn't it have started last night so I coulda got it home and arranged a truck or something over the weekend?
[bang]
Chuck, either get AAA Plus or call me, I have a truck and trailer.
I have AAA Plus and they tow motorcycles
How is your battery? Have EDR do a load test on it to see if it's still good. I had the same problem with my S4. There would be enough power to turn it over alright but not enough to get enough spark to the plugs. Especially if the plugs are even slightly wet. Motocorsa told me this and said the plugs could be fouled as well. Replace them.
Can't just clean 'em? I dont' have much mileage on them. They're only like 2 months old or so.
If they are fouled, they are no good. It's like being prego's .....
Nice, great, thanks.
Anyone else wanna piss in my porridge while I'm down? :'(

If you need a battery let me know, i have an extra gel battery and man those things never go dead.
If that's true then it's not the battery. i replaced the stocker with a gel 2 years ago.

Ryan you slacker . . .
You outta work already? Wanna take me down to EDR to pick her up? I'll buy you a round [thumbsup]
dude.... I just finished the 18 hour drive back from LA.... crikeys... I am tired. Call me if you still need any help. (I went to Disneyland!!)
( . )( . ) and [bacon] for Chuckles...
Dude, that sucks! Well, could be worse, your bike could be yellow... wait... umm, hey, look, it's sunny out!! ;P
Muchos luck!
Picked my girl up. Things seem better!
Eric found some lean spots in the mapping and adjusted them. No troubles starting with dozens of tries . . . time will tell.
Yah, so Ryan . . . Gary told me my exhaust is "too free" and I should replace it. Suggested some Leo Vince they have in stock.
That make you feel any better in the grand scheme of things? That perhaps, maybe, just maybe, all your comments about my exhaust being loud are justified? ;D
[bacon]
glad its workin better man. [thumbsup]

It's probably all the bacon drooling & the b(*)(*)bie consumption. :o
Chuck
next time it won't start
lift the tank and see if the PCIII is cycling
meaning that the lights on top do their thing
the connector that they give you for the main power supply to that unit is a chincy piece of shit
it might be working right now simply because you or someone else moved the wire

I read all this as saying: "Did you check to see if it was plugged in?"
mmm... boobies...
Yah . . . new battery = No difference.
Mo, Ryan, any other homeboy with a trailer . . . can I get a lift to Cheshire or SDS?
I'll pickup truck you there this Monday if needed, no problem. I would use Cheshire for sure.

He'd be at the track today. Don't stress Neikos it will be completely resolved soon and we'll have a group ride. If we can drop it off Monday we'll do so and I'll buy you a drink at Plan-B before I drop you off at home. Sound good? :)

Chester was at PIR assisting Drat and Brian with their bikes. He is a great guy to know.
Who's Chester?
Dude... call me if they are open today and you want to trailer it in today. I was at track yesterday. It was a busy busy day.

Talked to Cheshire. I can drop it off tonight. Tomorrow, etc. If we're not there by 6PM - close time - we can leave out front and there's a key drop. Daric lives right next door so . . .
Let me know your schedule. That'd be great and . . . uhhhhh . . . it would be me buying you a drink ;)
Dude... when you gonna be home? I may be able to help you out too!
I could be there in an hour. Call me if it's quicker. . .
I am on a phone call now, still at work. Where is Cheshire?
48th and Division.
Should I bag out now? It'll be an hour before I get home.
Let me see if I can bail out early here... I carpooled today... so you know how that goes.
Dude! You're on my way home and only a couple of miles away.
I can pick you up vs. inconveniencing your lovely wife.
Here's my schedule thus far, leave the office at 4pm, I have a 4:30p chiropractor visit, then I can jamb out your direction. Traffic will probably be slow going at that time so we'd be dropping it after 6.
What do you think Jackson Five? I'm definately willing to help. If we do it tomorrow I could leave work earlier. Good that you are taking it to Chester, he's the one! [thumbsup]
(oh boom! I see that you've IM'd me. checking I)
Billy - You got him covered? Cause... if I don't need to trailer up... ya know?
Now boys . . . no fighting over me. I ain't got no taint for you. :P
Billy called, we're copecetic if you're not into trailering up. Thanks anyway!
Yo Billy . . . ringy dingy man.
Dude... I just got me some serious confused. I got me the jeep here at work... and will be headed home soon. If I can get my wifey to leave too. I can add the trailer to the jeep when I get home. Call me when you close and we can see whats going on?
:o
you guys are freaking me out
O . . . . K . . . .
