My bike quit last week on a trip. Got towed to a m/c shop. We tested the spark leads, coil, and narrowed it down to the dreaded Hall Effect Sensor. New OEM sensor was installed and the bike ran great today after i picked it up until i got it home.
Here's what i did since picking up the bike (a few hours):
1. washed the bike
2. fitted a used sidestand switch (it was working properly).
3. TB synch
After i washed the bike two things happened:
1. water got into fuel filler neck
2. bike had stumbled idle; white smoke from exhaust (not gaskets, just had them done).
3. Bike kept stalling and then would not re-fire. It turns over but does not catch.
Question: Could it be a) water in the fuel; or b) sidestand switch is not right? I noticed that when i got the bike back, the brake light remained on all the time--short under tank?
