i had the same thing happen to me on my aprilia rs250. ended up being the cable getting pinched between the tank and frame. routed the cable in a a more direct path and had no problems after that. and you're right...it will definitely wake you up when entering a turn and your bike is wide open :eek:
i'm with you on that one! i'm in new orleans. we can pretty much ride year round...except when a hurricane is beating down on us. love that tail wind though!
