Default Said Goodbye

As I posted, bike went into limp mode, and got it fixed. One week later, riding to Annapolis, bike started making strange noises, when I pulled the clutch in. Pulled off, shut it down so I could hear, and pulled the clutch but didn't hear anything. Turned the ignition switch to on, pushed the off/run switch to run, and as I did, it tried to start w/o my pushing the start button. Shut it down, tried again, same thing. Pulled in clutch and it went back to normal. So started it again, turned around and drove to local dealer and took this one home. Too many gremlins. I have had enough.

You are dead on, sir.

Why do folks put up "information" if they don't have a clue?


Guess your referring to me or the other 2 post...no one said they knew for sure so no reason to get aggravated.
Not one of those post said they knew for sure or gave any bad info.... Think we said were didn't know...
Its a public discussion forum. Ill discuss and if I know ill say I know...try to not get aggravated.
Its all in fun

I clean my TCA connector with DeOxit D5 and then apply DeOxit Gold every so often. Stuff is awesome and I have had no issues.

I do the same to other connectors also but this thread is talking about the TCA connector.
