So while lurking in the Craigslist closet, I run across a dude asking for a moto mechanic. So I've turned a wrench or two in my day, and feel reasonably confident between my abilities, and the wealth of information literally at my fingertips. I admit, I'm not well versed...or versed at all for that matter...in his machine. However, his problem seems to be something simple, here's a copy of the email I got;
"O5 zx636 something keep draining battery, also had a problem with bike bucking turn on and off till finally dies won't run but turn over acts like its not getting fire or gas. I put a good ecu in it. And a new battery rode about 20 mile no problems park it then went to start the next day and battery was dead , so I'm not sure if alt is bad or fuel pump is getting hot and shorting out or both."
So if nothing else, I'd love to be able to point him in a direction to save a little dough, although turning a wrench or two/test riding it would be fun. So if you's guys have any suggestions about what's going on, he, and I, would greatly appreciate it.
