When riding out and back, I experienced 2 "Cut-Outs" during the day. I use the word "cut-out", because they weren't stalls. The bike just turned off when riding, but I still had full battery support (dashboard was fullly lit). I then tried to start the bike and it was SILENT. Not even a turn from the starter. Nothing.

After several attempts and 30seconds of time, the bike fired up and off I went. WTF?

Then yesterday at noon, when pulling out of my office building garage I got another "cut-out". I pulled the plug and cleaned it. Screwed it back in and still nothing. Had to push to bike to Yang Jie's shop (over 2kms, but I'm used to pushing - I've now renamed the bike 退岭！ ). On the way, I was able to thumb the starter and get the starter to turn, but it wouldn't start. So pushed it the whole way.

Mechanic Bao couldn't figure out what was going on with the bike, so I left it there and went back to work. At 6pm I'm back to find out what Xiao Bao sussed out. And his theory: Bad ECU.

Today, they will be taking a new ECU (courtesy of euphonius) to swap out it out once again - sorry, I mean "upgrade".
Definitely feeling your pain.

The plug I've been using is the NGK CR9EIX, which you'll note does not show threads where the wire connects. That little cap should be widely available, and simply screws down over the threads on the plug.



Anyone have any idea where to get one of these "caps" in Shanghai? Shouldn't any decent repair station have one?

cheers!
