Im happy its all over with, i'll getting her back next week.

The MoCo guy called me himself and left a message. When I called back he explained the whole situation. He was embarrassed about the whole thing.

Apparently, someone left a plug in my oil tank when it was being painted. That plug then expanded with the head form the oil as I was running it. That plug was basically just floating around in the oil tank, causing the occasional light to come on when it would block the outlet. Thats why the light went away when id turn the bike off and start it up again. Thats also why she went bang. lol Im just glad I didn't get stranded anywhere when it happened

Sorry that happened to U, but really glad to see MoCo owned up and fixed it.

Bet the company now has something in place where they check that the plugs been removed after painting so that don't happen in the future.

Yes, and the guy responsible for leaving that plug in, is now asking customers at the drive-thru if they want Fries with their order.
