    newish battery
    Newish? We need this guys man card revoked. If you are a female please disregard my manly humor LOL
    Even a one year old motorcycle battery may need to be changed,
    At the very least I'd have it checked by a professional before you start spending money. Most newer vehicles will NOT run correctly if the battery has a dead cell or is weak. If you ride year round you shouldn't ever need a battery tender.
    Good luck-:)

    3x the bikes worth? You bought a plug and a boot for it.

    From your posts here, sounds like you haven't done much at all.

    You changed the boot and spark plug. It revs high when you let off the throttle but idles ok...that's an oxymoron.

    Give the bike to someone else that's willing to post more thorough, detailed descriptions of what the bike is doing and what they have done.

    OK heres the list of **** done. Spark Plug. Complete tranny rebuild, new exhaust, Front Forks the effing belt The back shock has been done. The Revs stay high and eventually back down. I just am done ****ing with it. I will not buy another American/ Harley made motorcycle again. And EZ it wont stay running now it will start idle for a few seconds and then die. I have tried to love this bike I have but I'm at my wits end. So now one of two things I can really narrow it down to. Carb problem or ignition module problem. I have over 5000 miles on it and I cant do it no more.

    Is your carb getting fuel? Tank vent clear?
