I read quite frequently about folks shipping a bike across the country for 500-700 bucks with one of the bike transport companies. Why doesn't it apply in this case? Seems a workable solution to the problem at hand.... Edit: I see the other thread has addressed this issue with the same suggestion.
Roadkill that is the best trip report I've read in a LONG time! Good job.
That's right. You're not all in California paying $3 per gallon when lucky.Patrick HayesFremont CA
well GK what did you wind up doing?
In 1999, out in the middle of nowhere Utah, my Sport 1100 started acting like that.Intermittently running on one cylinder below 4500 rpm. I looked at it and couldn't find anything wrong, so nursed it into the dealer at Salt Lake City.In a few minutes, the mechanic there discovered the left plug wire burned inside the plug cap. I had not thought to remove the NGK plug cap and look at the end of the plug wire.Anyway, he snipped about a quarter inch off that wire and screwed the plug cap back on. The bike has been running fine on that wire ever since!So yeah. It's probably something simple. Plug wire, TPS, side stand switch, etc...
I once had similar problem. turned out to be plug wire. you could try cutting down the plug end an inch or so (if it's long enough) and re-seat the cap..also could be a tank vent problem?
True. And it's something I would like to change. You should see the price of tobacco too!
Just got back to Hartford. Got new Iridium plugs and put them in. The ones I took out didn't look too bad. The right one was a little darker than the left. Checked the plug wires, which didn't look bad to me. Took it out for a ride with my wife on the back. It ran slightly better than before. After it warmed up, it started to hesitate again, at times very strongly. It did struggle a little when I got gas and restarted it, but it didn't die at least. I think the plugs helped a little, but didn't solve the problem. I really believe it's the TPS. Going to ride it home, taking my time getting there. If it starts to have serious problems, I'll get it towed.
.....All because my piece of shit motorcycle kept breaking down and stranding me. So hang in there. These things can work out even when they don't seem to be. :)
