RUN!
Good luck with that...

Thanks for the offer but after 6 visits in as many weeks, my bike in the shop for over 3 off them its more than obviuos this shop is incapable of fixing the fault.
Its time they replaced it.

I'm surprised that in the second millenium, a franchise vehicle dealership can say to a customer that they don't have diagnostic equipment to test basic systems.
At least Harley dealers have all the required tools to service their bikes.
Like Winja said, some people are still in the 70's.

Yeah but you have to still be in the 70's witht he harleys. I heard they're putting electroninc ignition in them in 2009.

CHECK IT OUT , AND READ IN THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT BIT ABOUT THE 3 SWITCHABLE ECU PROGRAMS , SO FOR SHIT WEATHER YOU CAN SHIFT TO A SOFTER POWER OPTION , I THINK THEY CALL THAT THE HONDA MODE OR SOMETHING

The new gixxer has donkey mode so that rocket jockeys can remain upright on a new thou...

Maybe they should buy a Honda instead?

This is a public forum, advertising ignorance like that is poor form.
Harleys have an engine management system that shames any Jap manufacturers.
That's how they pass all noise and emmission laws with a 100 year old engine design.

On a serious note Lou, who makes the EMS?

WINJA this is with a personal visit from Suzuki N.Z's service manager and intervention from Suzuki Japan.
SUZUKIS ARE SHIT

Haha, mines about 25 years old and still goes hard. Sounds like its yuor Flux Capacitor!

Sweet FA difference considering the extra work and $$$.

Oh - I also heard a stock 05 Blade beat an 06 GSXR1000 (power commander, pipe, velocity stacks in the standing 1/4.

What about Hayden - I thought he was your top mechanic ?

It's easier to wank on about your HP and bling bits, than it is to know how to use them effectively.

Honda wanted to make a bike that is useable and handles well, rather than just a track weapon.

But nice troll Winja, except for the personal attack on Lou.
