Ever since I repaired my fuel pump wiring and installed the super dyna-whoppin' battery cables she has been running very weill. To the point of lifting the front wheel at the slightest provocation.
There are some rear brake issues but that's another thread.
Today, a beautiful sunny NE FL day, I'd been out running errands up in to Jax. Maybe rode 100 miles altogether with several stops. Ran GREAT!
Heading home, sun's dipping in the west, running down US1 at 80 mph (keeping up with traffic!) when suddenly, no warning, the engine dies. Still turning due to speed but nobody home. Yellow Engine light on the dash. I get off the road. Try to restart. NOTHING! Got power, lights all good, dash does its little light show, but NO NEUTRAL light.
And she will not crank. Pressing start button produces profound silence. Got her in neutral, stand up stand down, clutch in/out. Nada. Ended up thumbing a ride home with AAA and flatbed.
I know I've said this before but, wtf?!
Of course, all my allen wrenches were in a box somewhere post hurricane so I couldn't even pull off tupperware to check anything.
One more time, wtf?!?! I'm gonna post this on the tech forums as well but anyone got any ideas before I flatbed to Daytona Ducati on Tuesday?
Positive note: A guy in a pick up stopped to check on me. We started talking and he drag races a nitro-methane powered bike. Low 7 quarter mile. Had pics. Raced at all the SE tracks that I used to got to when working for SPEED.
So he kept me company til the wrecker arrived. Thanks!
