Ugh.
Coming back from a party tonight, I stop to fill up with gas, and 10 miles later the thing would hesitate hard and cut out, felt like it was going to throw me off the bike the first time it happened. 'FI' light was blinking and I nursed it the last 3 miles home.... I think I got a bad tank of gas. I drained it out, I'll get another tank of gas and see what happenes I guess.

And that can got filled up - this is where we make the "5 gallons and your range is still less than 100 miles" joke....
At any rate, I'm done with this fucking thing. Its big, heavy, handles like poo, overheats in traffic, the coolant hoses leak at the clamps, vibrates everything loose and I get 24mpg and I guess it doesnt tolerate gas from a Hess station either.
Who wants to trade a RC51 for a 600RR?
