What are the odds?

[mashman]

Oil leak sorted. WOF sorted. Air In tyres sorted. Quick ride and time to fuel up. Dead Prila. WTF!. She just doesn't turn over. Push the button, yay let's go says the starter, click no says the ECU. Fizzing with moderate disappointment it was cig time. Called the shop for a pickup, called the wife for a pick up and sat and watched a guy thumbing the starter of his Suzuki. Hmmmmmm. Another dead Motorcycle.

What are the odds?

Brings a tear to the eye that does.

...fucking meteorites...they cause no end of trouble...

[Tryhard]

I blame the Russians!

Hope you get it sorted m8.....I know the feeling.

I recall stopping at the pub on a group ride and my gsx not starting. I felt like a proper F.tard.
It got the thrashing of its life once the we replaced the vacuum hose. Thanx to the neighbor at the Kaiau pub.Fin legend that guy.

Cheers for that... I think the other fulla having issues kinda put it all in perspective. Lots of head scratchin and the realisation that there's feck all you can really do about it without a computer, ha. If I ever get run around there's gonna be minimal electronic shit on it. there was a decent chap in a BMW that came over and had a quick looky too. Had a similar look on his face as to what I can imagine was on mine at first, that kinda, WTF, er, hmmm, maybe, nah, fuckin computers.

Hope the other fulla get his machine sorted.

What are the odds?

Odds are it'll be a relay failure, common failure on all that Italian rubbish

[Mom]

Call it a safety net if you will. For some reason the universe did not want you out on your bike at that time, hence the no go. A true blessing

good to know as it should be a straight forward fix... if they have any in the country

Edit: but how do you explain the Jappa?

I was willing to take my chances ya fuckin hippy

[Kickaha]

If it is a relay you can normally get them from repco

Superstitious rubbish, just an electrical falure, nothing more to it

But I want an Italian one from China.

But that doesn't explain the failure of the other motorcycle at the garage ... ommmmmmmmm

[nosebleed]

R1 relay apparently, if thats the cause of your problems
Plently of those around, in fact theres one in the current STAR $1 auctions, probably about the only bit that can be used off the bike!

As for explaining the other guy, sympathy breakdown loooking to hang out in good company?

I guess i'll find out soon enough.

ha ha ha ha ha... poor fooker looked as stunned as me the sun was out, traffic was quiet, moods where not high .

Ordered the stator yet?

[nosebleed]

I'll order the Stator and RR tonight, with maybe one or two "extras"

Which RR are you getting? Coz I have the old one and it works. A guy from Chch borrowed a few years ago whilst waiting for parts. You're more than welcome to it in the "short" term? If you put in an order for a spare stator I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands instantly .

If my stator is pooked I'll probably try to find out if Piaggio NZ can look into the "fix" that the Dutch and the Italians have been offered. Failing that I may even spring for the rotor if I can get an "ok" price as the MIL is coming out in April sound could transport one.

[nosebleed]

I'll be getting the Ricks R/R, the original may well be functioning but with a gruntier stator it'll be the next thing to go.
Figured Rick's built the stator so they've put some effort into making the stator and R/R compatible

I read mini_me's thread and had a quick look around for an '09 rotor. None at AF1 and none in the for sale section.
Don't really rate the chances of Piaggio NZ getting behind the european offer of upgrades, you've really only got to take a look at the amount of interest they show in actually running a dealership system here.

That said, if you do manage to make headway with them I'll be more than glad to make use of your hard work!
