With all of that not working, I would start at the ignition switch plug.

We have replacement plugs in stock: https://www.rpmracingca.com/proddetail.asp?prod=M%2FC%3AIginitionPlugKit

Also, what is the battery voltage when not on the charger?

Expecting a big bagger...
It's an FTR 1200.
I never knew they made such a thing. Awesome vtwin torque....
Now I'm obsessed with them.....
I'm trying not to buy one.

FTR's are really cool, you can find them for decent price because they're discontinued but I've seen they are harder to find for the same reason. A similar look/feel would be a Harley Pan America ST, the ST version is the rather new road focused version to the Pan American line up but you may see those used in the near future, 150hp vtwin, stay away from the 2021 and 2022 Pan Americas but I've hear good things about the 2023's and newer.

Quote from: Pat Conlon on Today at 01:10:28 PMIn 120/70-17 and 180/55-17  I'm currently running a Michelin Road 6's more for touring than sport.
I chose the Road 6's due to the excellent mileage I got from my previous Road 5's.

However, if I didn't care about mileage I would try Bridgestone Battlax S23

Red, 17" conversion like Pat suggested.

Pat, I had Michelin Road 5 and didn't like them. To me they felt kind of soft—not very solid or stable—but that was just my experience.

Now I'm considering:
Michelin Power 6 / Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 / Dunlop Sportmax Q5A or Dunlop RoadSmart 4 (I have RoadSmart 3 on the FZR and they look and feel good).

Mileage — I don't care.
Most important is that the bike feels stable and solid.

Thanks.

MarioR,

What size rims? (What size tires do you have there now)?

Rumpty trying to get to his rally weight.....so he can eat more hot dogs!
NancyK

.....and he will figure out a way to retrofit a turbo on both of those....

Dan clearly needs both!

Garth In a previous post I asked for 1 Gray xl. Please add 1 more to that for a total of 2. Gray xl, 1 short sleeve and 1 long sleeve. Thank you again for doing this.

Best wishes
Kurt

Yes, Rumpty too? He's frantically trying to get down to his rally weight.
