rick1 Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I had the exact same problem on my 2001. It was first hard to start then it just died.........turned out to be the black box tucked up under the tank. Apparently this is a common problem with that model year. The replacement boxes are "supposed" to be improved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montman Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Do you not know anyone with a simular bike, that is running fine, so you can try various replacements to find the fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montman has a good idea though; if you know some one with a similar bike borrow theirs. It is, however, a son-of-a-bitch getting the box out and back in again as I recall.
