Anyone followoing my part on this thread?? Problem solved. Yess you can laugh aat a newbie, I won't take any offence, even I can laugh at my problem and fix. So, what I found was my battery bouncing around in the tray and shorting out against the battery cover & frame. I used heavy duty double sided tape from 3M taking down the rubber mat. Then strapped down the battery so It wont move at all. Sputtrering went away. I'd have never thought... Until, I went out to ride my bike to work just after getting it overhauled and it wouldn't start. I starting looking it over, noticed when I pushed the start button a small spark at the corner of the battery. Had it not been dark out, Id have never figured it out. Go figure.

Since you're there... What octane do you use? Would it be ok to use the regular gas (87)?
