Sean, seems to be an internal thing, shift forks perhaps. I removed the shift rod and tried to put into gear while turning the rear wheel and turning the shift segment, it works sometimes, but mostly not, all the oins are in good shape. I hear what sounds like a metal against metal, tap or...

Well not sure what I did but the bike is running, I replaced the vboost sensor with a spare that I had, made sure the line was clear, took off the fuel filter, no dirt, reconnected the vboost, synced the vboost, and it works. Prior to removing the fuel filter it would still stall, I assume the...

Good to hear that the rear wheel is working out for you Mike :cheers:

Looks like I will have to get the volt meter out again, as Mark suggested and start checking the electrical parts, plugs, fuel pump, etc Ron

Mike Carbs were overhauled less than 6 months ago, I synced the carbs 2 weeks ago and was riding with no problems. I tried to sync them yesterday but the bike does not hold an idle at 1200-1300 long enough to sync them. Ron :hmmm:

Just checked them Mark, AIO, no cracks, pin holes, tears. Ron
