Hello everyone.

So the last time I wrote I had fitted my brand spankers HID rig, busted up my motorcycle and been left stranded in the middle of a village somewhere.

Well things haven’t improved at all really…

My bike went in Saturday and was told they wouldn’t really look at it until Monday at least. So when Monday came, I phoned them at 9am sharpie. In the call I mentioned a thing called a fuel pump relay, which upon reading the GSR forum, seemed to a problem for a few people, and the results were the same as mine, bikey no startey.

So they said aye fair enough, I will print out the mechanics sheet and he will either get it on the stand today or Wednesday. Ok fair nough.

Went on to the forum Monday night and some of the boyos were saying that it could be the HID rig interfering with the immobiliser, since some of the cheaper HID units (i.e. mine) aren’t magnetically shielded which could result in EMP leakage.

Back on the phone Tuesday @ 9am (I now had to get the bus to work, which meant getting up at 6:30am to hitch a ride with my Dad to the bus park ‘n ride. I usually got to work around 8:10am…

Menioned the HID rig to them and they said they will print out another mechanics sheet and that the mechanic had it on his bench already, having done some work Monday afternoon.

Great. So I left it at that until Thursday, when I called again. The bloke said that they couldn’t find the problem, even after stripping the bike back to the frame, and using the demonstrator GSR as a parts bin. So they would continue along their diagnostics plan and hopefully something will be found. He did say that the HID rig was the first thing to come off, so it wasn’t that. And because it wasn’t anything I had done to it, it would almost certainly be a warranty job. Brill.

So as my bike lay dead in the garage, I forged on without it. But not before getting a bug from work and spending Thursday boking and feeling exhausted.

I had been full chat at work and come Thursday night, I was ready to implode. Then the bus journey home was the deal clincher. I was at the stage of saying to the bus driver, let me off right now, but I managed to hold it in until I got home.

Well. My. Word. It all hit off when I took the first steps through my door. It was b-line to the toilet and as you can imagine, wasn’t pretty in any shape or form. I spent the rest of Thursday night/Friday morning in and out of the toilet. Friday saw a decrease in sickness and increase in the other end and this continued in to the weekend, and now sitting here on Sunday, I am having 5 minute stints at writing this as I am constantly running to the toilet for some fireworks. I am fed up with this.

I got a final call on Friday, whilst lying in bed from the garage to say they hadn’t solved the problem by the end of their diagnostics so called Suzuki who asked them to order a new wiring loom and another part which I forgot the name of. This would be delivered by Tuesday (hopefully) but to save any complications, they said Wednesday, with the bike booked in for a Thursday fix. This could still leave the problem unsolved mind you. So I am stuck for another week without a bike. SUPERB!

I feel like crap.

I have had some news back about RST but I will go in to detail about that another time. I also received my trousers that ripped back, but instead of it being my old ones, I got a brand new set! So thanks for that RST, well chuffed!

 

Hopefully by next week I will be ok, but going by what’s going on with my body at the minute, I can’t see it happening.

Thanks for reading guys, YY is now pushing the 11,500 mark and I am absolutely ecstatic about it.
