My cell is 516-449-2222. Give me a ring maybe Saturday night, and let's see what the weather is looking like for Sunday. Maybe we can get the guys from Centereach and Westhampton too, and pick a place to meet, and we'll go from there.

Would love to except for a little malfunction, which cut my ride short today to Heckscher Park.
See my post under: http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?t=98036
I'd love to go for a cruise, but I'm afraid if I ever stopped, I'd have to push almost 600 lbs of dead weight all the way home to Bay Shore. If you had similar issues, who do you think is the BEST zuke mechanic on the Island. Assuming money was not an issue (which it always is) I don't care if he's an east ender or here by me. Ive been working with Chuck from Chuck Wagon racing in Farmingdale, but I'm afraid he's exhausted all his best guesses, and now its gonna be trial and error and more $$$$$$.

Hey DDZ, I'm from Bay Shore, Martin Fink is from Westhampton and Arie is from N. Babylon. I'd like to get together for a cruise with you guys too. 9/10 there's supposed to be a few thousand bikes at Riverhead Raceway for some type of motorcycle ralley. I'd definitely go there if I could make sure my bike was reliable enough. See my prior post.

If any of you LI guys can either help me figure out my dilemma, or find me a top notch mechanic this week, maybe we could hook up for the Riverhead Motorcycle Fair on 9/10. Sorry for short notice. See link:

rocketman, im a pretty good gs mechanic i guess, i can usually figure stuff out like your problem. me and my friends can get anything to run. i will be at the riverhead raceway event. ill probably be lurking around. but i will be the gs750 with the camoflage seat. so if im standing near it or something introduce yourself and maybe we can take a look at your bike.

If you guys are up for it, I'll be happy to come to Centereach to see you guys tomorrow (Monday)as I'm off from work-you just pick the time & place, or most anytime its convenienet for you. Not expecting miracles, but would certainly appreciate any help, and if we can hook up prior to the Riverhead event, I will be able to go with much more confidence. Thanks.

Cool. Whatever works for you is fine with me.
(1) Do you think I should bother bringing my bike back to Chuck Wagon Racing in Farmingdale (who's done all the work so far) on Tuesday and see if he can figure it out, since he thought everything would be better after he adjusted the idle mixtures screws and installed the Dyna S, or not even bother?
(2) What do you think about Arie's ideas, as posted in Technical Area:
I am going to venture a guess, as I have had electrical gremlins that had behaved in a similar manner: ok cool, demonic when hot.
Some electrical connectors , especially those with corrosion and/or loose fitting ones, have more resistance, and thus generate heat. This heat exacerbates the situation, making an even worse electrical contact.
I would bet dollars to doughnuts that you have loose / bad connections to the coils, and correcting them will solve the problem. I suggest starting with the spade clips that go to each coil. remove one at a time, clean male terminal, examine & clean female terminal, squeeze female terminal with pliers, shoot with connection cleaner, reinstall, repeat on all 4.
also check the leads that come from the fuse box and go to the coils - or/wht i believe, same as above.

By the way Tarbash, what's your opinion of the pulling the spark plug cap thing I discussed and the spark up my arm discussion in technical area-see "Wit's end". Thanks.
