    Ok, so I had a meltdown this past week...ok, so more of the BIKE had a meltdown. After replacing the ont hR/R leading to the Stator, and testing the wires, everything was fine.

    So I put her back together, and suited up for a quick ride. ATGATT for going around the block, or in my case, mountain.

    Any ways, I started out slow, no problems. Got on the gas, "Hmmm, not getting the normal throttle response I should be getting" Thought maybe it was me, was not in happy mood yesterday. So this morning I need to run some errands, "Nice day, I'll take the bike". Same problem, the throttle response is slower then it was prior to the connector meltdown.

    Here are what I think could be the problem.

    1. Power commander shorted out?
    2. When the tow truck driver strapped the handlebars down, possibly damaged the throttle?
    3. Maybe not all wire running from stator to regulator are running properly?


    Being that I am a do it yourselfer, and I have little to no cash to take it to a shop, I need to see if anyone can offer advice on where to start. Thanks!
