Hi All,
I bought my 2004 TBA in June of 2005. I've loved the bike, and ride it fairly often (5300 miles so far.)
Here's the problem. I can be riding along, either in town or on the highway, and the left cylinder just dies. Then it comes back, sometimes dies again. This can also happen while coming from a stop.
Engine cold or warm, cold or warm weather, wet or dry weather makes no difference. I can't seem to find a pattern, and the problem is intermittent.
I've had the bike to the dealer (Cycle Riders Orlando) twice. The first time, they changed the coils. The problem came back within 200 miles. Then they changed another part, sorry can't remember what, I'd have to check. I thought the bike might be fixed, but it did it again pulling away from a traffic light. It's been about 750 miles since the last repair attempt.
The problem is unsafe and irritating, to say the least. The bike has been down 2-3 weeks each time waiting for parts to come from England.
Any ideas? If they can't get this resolved, I'm tempted to lemon law the thing (need one more repair attempt) and buy a Rocket III.
Don't get me wrong, I love my TBA, but this is driving me nuts.
Thanks,
