Well u might know but if not I was having alitle bit of a stalling problem.I finally got a chance to start servicing it for this weeking.When I took the air filter off I noticed that the ecu power regulater had come out a was laying in the air filter tray.
Does any of u know What that thing real does?The bike ran without it beeing pluged in!
Do u think that was my problem?

Dude, I wish I could tell you, but I don't know what half of the things on the dale are for [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]. Just like this one thing on there that has all these little orange button lookin things on it and Lonestarbanshee got the bright idea to push one of those in. I was like WTF?!? He says, "What? Was I not supposed to do that?" and I said, "Uh... well hell if I know. I don't even know what it is." I didn't know if I should have been mad, worried, or just not cared. Hope it wasn't anything big... it still runs great so I guess it can't be to bad.

Special,

Don't run without that. It protects the diode which protects your ECU.

Has it ever stalled on a big jump or just when you sort of "hop" over something? If you role jumps or take a corner slowly while in a high gear, it seems to cause easy stalling later on. After I started revving it out more and riding more aggressively, I never had any stalling problems any more. But when I rolled jumps and putted around, I stalled like crazy.

I think I solved the stall problem.I beleve it was that ecu power regulater being un pluged.I just changed the plug,cleaned the air filter,rerouted the gas line,changed gas filter and oils.
I took it out in a open field and ran it up and down wot 1st thrue 4th gear about 8 times and no problems.Thats when I had the problem before after wot for a few seconds straight it would stall a few seconds later.
Im taken it to the track tomorow to give it the real test.
