The regulator was shot, so the battery got massively overcharged and then discharged acid over everything. So the regulator needed to be replaced, as well as a new battery, new wiring harness, and another new ECU.

Haggling shall be done over what I'm paying.

Well, the 1125R doesn't have that sound. in fact, it kinda sounds like a lawn tractor, lol, but there are after market pipes that will fix that. I just can't justify spending money on that right now. It handles better than any bike I've ever owned though and has torque out the ass. It's just damn fun to ride.

Told you that ECUs don't go around frying themselves for no good reason.


But, wasn't the RR changed after your wreck? Can't you blame it on a defective RR?
