Ok so in june i bought my 05 with 3500 miles on it.. do the math and thats 1166 miles a year. I live in the bay area and decided to take a road trip for the end of the summer to see some people down in San Diego. So i rode highway 5 all the way down and i have to say with the stock seat and clip on that was not the most fun ive ever had. Not only was butt killing me but when i was going up the grape vine i notice that all electrical went out.. no guages no lights of any kind. But i didnt want to stop cuz i didnt know if my starter would work. Found a cycle gear somewhere in the ventura area pulled over and found a wire broke off the ciruit board to the led tailights and it blew a fuse. So took care of that and got to SD. the next day i was ridding in pacific beach going to fast and being impatient and as i changed lanes i found my self needing to stop bout 30 feet shorter than i was able to and rearend a car.. luckly no damage to his car and no scratches to body work.. but lets say i was a little pissed at myself and it turns out these bikes arent hard to pick up... im an average size guy (5'9" 180 lb) but with anger and adrenaline i picked it up like it was nothing. But the best part was my route home... I took highway one from the north end of camp pendleton all the way home with a night at pismo.. man what an awesome road i was in heaven especially pismo to Big Sur, ill try and get some pics up... now got to get everything ready for my ride to Idaho in 3 weeks

p.s. o ya and my bike lost power in big sur a mile after a fill up.. i shut it off for a few min and it was ok.. anyone have that problem

 

I'm guessing you filled it to the top?

If you fill it above the vent tube, no air can get in and it creates vaccum... Then you got no fuel coming out at the bottom and the bike looses power...

Open the the filler cap or just let the bike sit for a while and all is well again...
