    I recall that you were entertaining the thought of resto modding the 1150. Anything come of it?
    Nah, I've kept it mostly stock.

            Thanks. It's been a great bike, no matter what I asked it to do. I'm still in love with the engine, every single time I ride it.

                Hey there! Yeah, it's definitely been a while. Still check in now and then, though.

                And thanks!

                      Mine was doing the same earlier today after I had replaced the starter switch. Come to find out it had stopped firing on all cylinders because I had inadvertently disconnected the circuit the coil was on when I took the tank off to get to the throttle cables. Worth checking out

                        Speaking of things worth checking out... Have you done this quick test to find out how your charging system is behaving??

                          Thank you. Although, it's not that easy when the bike won't idle!
