As some of you know I have been having problems with my S3 not starting. (See thread "won't turn over") I figured out that the clutch safety switch was the problem. So when it started up this afternoon I took if for a test ride. Not even 10 miles down the road at a red light, I saw something in my peripheral vision and then felt some heat on my left leg. Next thing I realize is the rear of the bike is in flames. I quickly got off and set it down, and watched it burn. I have some pics, but I don't know how to post them. Any help?
