I was over at mt regular mechanics getting tires put on today and he went to take a spin and the bike wouldn't start. I mean just would not fire for about two or three minutes of trying and finally it fired after using the power switch on/off and opening the tank lid. Then it didn't fire hard as it usually does it barely stayed running. I called the dealer from there and told them this is the fifth time in three weeks I've had this happen. The dealer said they have had some problems with the daytonas and the ground. The fix is an extra ground from the head to the grounding block(whatever or wherever that is) to the negative terminal on the battery. Also suggested I don't use the tuneboy as they've had some customers with bad tunes loaded from tuneboy. He also suggested just updating the Triumph tune when I bring it in. Anyone know what or where the grounding block is? And I don't think the tuneboy is the problem, but I will try and reload the tune after I add a second ground.
