I got my bike a year ago and I've slowly been riding it more and fixing it up little by little. I started riding almost everyday about a month ago and my nightmares started. My charging system goes out about 1-2 times a week. I took it to the shop and they couldn't find anything wrong with my stator or anything. I have always had problems with shifting above 1st but I usually get it within 10 tries. I was riding down a road near my house and I was trying to shift up after a stop light and it wouldn't stop going between 1st and neutral. I wasn't that far from my destination so I tried to push it hard in 1st and it blew and I had to pull over. Took it back to a garage and they basically told me that my motor was wrecked and it was going to cost upwards of 2,500. Now I found a motor on eBay for 300 that I want to install myself with the help of a couple of friends. Don't know if it'll work or if it's worthwhile but I want to try bc i love this bike and I'm ballin on a budget. If anyone has any advice I'll gladly take it. Will post updates as I figure more out.
