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.

Yup. wack the throttle and it barks. Even runs great under hard load / WOT going through the gears. But then when highway cruizing at 65-75mph somethings just not right. Its faint but noticable and annoying. I guess I'll test or bypass the side stand switch and ignition switch to rule them out..
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.
