Also include information like mileage, history of ownership and all modifications to bike (bars, air box, mufflers etc).
For example:The cam position sensor in timer cone area by your right foot floor board will start melting if original and create a hard start situation when it goes bad. A lot of cranking and nothing but then it finally starts after many attempts. A beige goo would be visible leaking/melting out of wire exit at bottom of cone.
Another example: The crank position sensor connector gets loose and create a false contact that will cause motor to shut-off when you go over a bump and has a free fix.
Another example: The fuel tank liner will release a piece of liner from the center of the tank and block fuel inlet causing a loss of fuel flow.
Another example: Fuel lines outside of tank leak at swivle or fall apart internally causing fuel problems after about 10 years.
Another example: bad engine temp sensor causing throttle to flip flop from a run away idle to nothing and repeat making bike un-rideable do to bike switching from hot to cold idle rapidly and repeatedly.
Another example: The ignition key lock switch on the tank can develop a bad connection and requires cleaning.
These are just a few simple items that caused folks headaches that pushed them in the direction of spending money when it was just a simple problem.
The original system is very workable and rather simple.
