When I finished writing this post the shop called and told me that it is a carb problem. I just got ripped off for 700 bucks on a 125 point inspection (or whatever it is for a bike). What is the world coming too.

Well a conclusion to this post. I got my baby back and she's up and running. It turned out to be a couple of jets needed cleaning. Not enough fuel was getting to chamber 3. All the sparkplug wires have some type of damage. #3 wire I mentioned above. Shop found that #1 has damage in the boot itself, another $40. I will eventually replace them all. The carb needed some adjusting.

Thanks for the help guys.

Now that is corrected. What can I do to get a least some of my money back from the dealer that was supposed to check and correct my bike? Apparently what they said they did was not done. I know this business isnt like it is for cars but geez u cant do ppl like this.

Glad you got it fixed bro. I spent weeks trying to figure mine out and it was clogged pilot jets.

As far as the dealer goes, good luck and they are worse than car dealers. I have learned to do every thing to mine and hopefully never have to see a dealer again. except for the next new one.
