Hello everyone! Just picked up a 6th gen and once I got used to the seating position (coming from a standard Versys), I fell in love with the bike and it's porky taller perch and V4 sound. Personally, I'm quite a fan of having the VTEC on tap as well. That rush of power at the top is exhilarating. That being said- the dreaded electrical faults happened and I was stuck half a mile from home- it was a fun leg workout pushing the dead thing back, and I do NOT intend to repeat that. Anyways, happy to be here!
Welcome to The World! As for your electrical dilemma, there are plenty of post here on how to repair that issue, do a search for "The Drill" and you should be able to locate more than a few post.
