A friend looks at the pic and decided it was a mouse, not a bird nest.

That's fairly common with vehicles that sit idle in areas that have rodent populations. I saw a picture of a marmot under the hood of a car in Colorado. The owner had come back from a few days backpacking and heard a noise under the hood when he started the car. He popped the hood and there's a scared shitless marmot staring at him.

You'd better check your hoses and wiring. Those rats and mice love to chew on wire insulation and rubber.

I just noticed that 2armor mentioned that earlier.

Hi Guys

New to the site and happy join!!
I also have a hawk with some problems, but I can't seem to fix.

Bike runs great under hard load (Wheelies when you open up to fast , but when under constant throttle she cuts out one the cylinders and misses like a woman with a gun! lol.

If you open the throttle slightly it goes away for 3 or 4 secs and starts misfiring again when under constant throttle. I am out of ideas!! Please help.
