Figured since I don't have my bike at the moment I'd pop on here and vent a bit.
As some of you guys know, I brought home a new (to me) GSXR 600 a few weeks ago. STOKED. The bike is great, but I've had a few teething issues with my new ride. When I first got it home the battery wouldn't hold a charge. After popping it on the charger and ringing its neck, it still wouldn't keep the battery up. After a bit of trouble shooting, I went ahead and took it in to Suzuki. Faulty connector one of the wires. Fixed. "Woohoo!" Then I took her out for my last vlog and noticed she was running north of 100 degrees Celsius and climbing when I'd bring the bike to a stop. Even at 105-110 the fan wasn't kicking on. "Balls."
So I took it back to Suzuki. After a day of prodding they had to pass it to an auto electrician - thankfully it apparently wasn't the fan motor, but rather more bad wiring/connections. So here I sit about 5 days later, after a holiday weekend here in SA, and a long business trip, and I've still got no ride. Hoping to get it back before the long Easter weekend.
On a more positive note, I did get some goodies in the mail. My AGV Sport Willow leather pants, and A* chest/back protectors came in from Revzilla. The new A* jacket and gloves should be in tomorrow. Also nabbed a tail tidy and brake reservoir sock. Now if I only had a bike to go with them! :x :evil: :shock:
Apparently my girl is making some kind of potato, bacon, cheese, sour cream things . . . cause the house smells like heaven . . . maybe life isn't THAT bad.
