GOOD TO KNOW

I figured if it was a connection problem you would have some common symptons like sputtering,misfire,power on and off like a kill switch does.etc.. But this one just went dead......... common for coil, or even a cdi. with no fire whatso ever comming to the plug..good luck

i would tell them where they could stick the 15.00... Call AC direct,and tell them. They will handle it. VERY GODD CUSTOMER SERVICE. My axek broke and it was out of warranty, dealer would not fix it and told me i shouldnt waist my time trying to call AC. I did anyways and i had the last laugh...

The weather here has been so crappy that I 'm not in a hurry to get it back. It has rained here all week and just quit today. I'm new to the warranty game, my Bayou is 11 years old and I never had to get anything repaired on it except the air box bracket had to be rewelded after I had it a couple of months.

 

I was going to pick up my bike in the morning, but the dealer left a message that it was not ready. He said he put the new coil in but nothing happened. He called AC and they said I have a bad stator. This is starting to sound like a pretty common problem. I'll keep you guys posted. By the way, does any body have AC's phone number???

 

Its on this forum somewhere between last spring and october of 2003. do a search for it.

good luck

 

Not going to get my bike back this week. Dealer called yesterday and said the stator was on back order. Should be ready this time next week. "Should" is the key word.

 

Finally got my bike back last night. Here's the story. The dealer is a new dealer, only had Cats since January, so they don't have all their special tools yet. The stator was ordered along with the flywheel puller. The stator made it in last Wed or Thur, but no puller. They had to call other dealers to borrow a puller. Called yesterday morning to see when it would be ready and they said I could pick it up this morning. Well I called again yesterday afternoon at 4:00 and told them I would not be able to make it in the morning and that I was on my way to pick it up then. Got there around 5:00, they said they had it together, but it would not start with the starter. The pullrope would start it though. The mechanic had something out of place. He tore it back down and got it right although he had to work an hour and a half after closing time. He and the owner were very apologetic about how long it took to get it fixed.
