I'd take it in for the recall and and have them do the ECU. After that play dumb...maybe they'll sort it out for you.
Bike is up and running... So after racking my brain, playing with the bike for hours here and there, I enlisted the help of a friend who is a union electrician and motorcycle builder. Told him I would take him out for a steak dinner if he could diagnose the problem for me...haha What we found: - weird grounding and lack of Om resistance both at starter and starter solenoid - starter solenoid not working to 100% but functions (I've ordered one and will install this coming weekend) - the terminal/stud on the starter motor was loose and the little o-ring was ripped/tweaked - the negative wire coming off the starter solenoid gets really hot What we did: - took starter apart - found no damage - tightened stud on starter and installed a new o-ring that is just a little thicker - ran thicker gauge wiring between starter solenoid and battery and solenoid to starter Everything seems right again, and runs great. Thanks again for all the help/advice, I really appreciate it. I hope I can offer some help to you guys in the future!
