mine was the switch to the side stand that won't let the motor start without the stand up.. It worked for awhile and then stopped woking..as I found out when I got to the end of my 100 yard long driveway and put the stand down to close the gate and the engine kept runninig
.. But I thought that's a good think since one of my BMW's had that same sidestand thing.. and the valves got so carboned up that it stopped running.. to much stopping and starting on a cold engine.. meant a trip to the shop, where it was under warranty, but before it got there, the transport company flipped it on it's side and they had to pay for a $1000 or so of plastic, wasn't preTty..
Anyway crawled under the bike {how do you crawl under an RE}
and found the wires had been chew in to, by probably a squirrel. since they also chewed through a hose where I was watering 17 trees I planted, with a soaker hose because of the heat and I left it on all night to discover the next morning I had a 30 foot in the air water sprinkler, my garage was standing water. I stepped into the lawn and sunk 4 inches deep into mud.. might have to take out a bank loan to pay the water bill when I get it
so the side stand system is gone, and am thinking about taking the smog system off next.
what have you removed so far?
