[QUOTE="macvette, post: 57115, member: 262"] Hi, I had two issues with my bth. The first was caused by the internal sensor which triggers the spark coming loose so the first mag was replaced. The symptoms were as you describe except that the bike died on a ride and couldn't be restarted. BTH were very helpful in sorting this out. The second issue was that when accelerating hard the bike would stutter. Plug checks after this occurred showed that the front plug was sooty. After plug changes, several timing checks and carb setting checks I rerouted the kill wire away from the plug leads. For the sake of neatness, I had bundled it with the plug leads , re routing cured the problem. The kill wire on mine is shielded so in theory it should not pick up interference. I will try to put a pic on here. Sorry can' do it from my I pad but I think I posted the pic on a thread I started on this sometime this year. Mac [/QUOTE]
