Here's the story for anyone who cares, but I just got a 2001 TT 600 from a certified dealer here in Denver (Erico Motorsports). I had it one day and it died on me. Apparently the battery was dead by the time I got it home. So I brought the battery into the shop (Erico) and they charged the battery the whole day but said it wouldn't hold a charge. So I bought a new batter online and installed it myself (per the manual's instructions). She ran great for about a week (3 rides) and started dying on me as I held the clutch in at lights. Then the control panel was bugging out showing me all sorts of numbers and turning on and off. I then took it in again to the shop (Erico) and they told me it was a rectifier/regulator problem and because the bike was sold as is they would help me out by covering the labor charges. However, they charged me $289 for the part which I found on the internet for $109.
Anyway, I had them do the work, and as expected it ran fine... for about another week. I took the bike up to Boulder bout a 60 mi. round trip (after another 3 rides) and when I got back the oil pressure light kicked in. She then died about a mile from my house. I checked the oil level and it was bone dry. I then went to a gas station and one of the guys there had some oil he used for his harley (20w50) said it would work fine in my bike (TT600 Manual says 15w50 half or full synthetic). I put in the oil bout 3 quarts and it started right up. Drove it home and parked it.
And now I haven't been able to get it started again. Does anybody know what the problem could be?? I am in the process of draining out all the oil I put in and am gonna put in the recommended oil. But I don't know if that'll work.
Please any suggestions for a new tri owner would be extremely helpful.
Thanks,
Bryan
P.S. I also noticed that once i removed the left faring that there were three hoses by the left shifter that were bundled together but not connected to anything. Could this be a problem?? :evil:
