smoke! flat battery! and a warrenty...

Post by zx6rbakr »

hey guys,

just wondering if anyone knows what the hell just happend to my bike?

i went to start it yesterday and the battery did not have enough charge to kick over, finally it did a while later. about 3 mins after the bike was running the engine just cut out and then smoke started coming out from behind the front right fairing... the bike is in the work shop but they are to bust to look at it untill the 10th of feb... i hate you peter stevens!!! just wondering if anyone had any idea on the problem or is this the start of a recall... thanks everyone
