*&@#%$!!!

So, I finally say fuck it, I'm gonna ride to work today.

Go to the garage to get the bike that I prep'd for the season last weekend (ya, late I know), starts right up, gear up, grab the laptop and hit the road. Get to the local store, pull in use the ATM grab some stuff, back on the bike, ah...life is good, it's gonna be a great weather day, and my day at work is gonna suck, but atleast I can ride to and from. me --->

Get to the stop light, pop it in nuetral, sit and wait for the light, green...pop into first...brrrrrr....cuts out. WTF? Try to start her, she has full dash power, but not enough juice to start.

Now, what a sight to see, a girl pushing the bike to the hill so I can pop start it. Let me tell you even at 7:00 am it was pretty warm in my leather with the laptop in the backpack pushing the bike! But, she started.....for 10 seconds and again, cuts out. She has no juice. Fuck me. Now what?

Start calling everyone and anyone. Everyone is at work, at a town meeting, launching a boat..etc. I finally find someone to come get me and he shows up with a big ass trailer and a dinky 3 foot ramp! It was a fight, but I won, got her onto the trailer. He hand me a strap and the fucking thing is broken. This just is not gonna be my day.

Well, three hours later, I am at work, in the cage and the bike is back home where she started.

Which bike? Rectifier issue?

[Jaynnus]

RR - either I got a loose connection or it's not charging.

I will charge the battery and do a load test....tonight.

damn...battery? the FI light come on at all? my Z acted similar when the battery died.

So how did you get the bike home with a broken strap?

When it rains it pours huh?
Sorry to hear it...
Well at least most likely your shit luck is done and run out
for now.

[Awesome]

some 03-04's have rectifier issues. I think I have a spare one kicking around if you need it.

Thanks, I probably will.

I will let you know. I'll be at the track this weekend.

Where there is a will there is a way!

[Cheese]

Check the simple stuff first. A loose connection at the battery will light the dash but not start the bike.

damn... sorry jane... not a great way to start the day.

of course you could have taken one of the other 50 bikes you have.

[smf]

From what she said "Not enough juice to start" it sounds like the starter was turning over but not fast enough to do anything.

I embarrassingly have flipped the shut off button on my 999 once while trying to adjust my brake lever and then was rippin when the thing wouldn't start. A quick check of the basics unveiled my stupidity!

We've all been there... Some of us multiple times...

Crummy way to start the day off - but, if it comes in three's you knocked them out pretty quick. It should get better from here.
