Daytona Bike Week 2020 meetup and post-event riding and skrew it I’m riding home

[tribal]

Yes, I usually don't go beyond 10K - even with Amsoil.

I changed it last June after I got home from RAA East and the RAA West detour to Daytona Biketoberfest and bonus Key West Fantasy Fest loop
in October put me close to 13K.

I had pre-ordered a case of oil to change it when I got back here.

It was VERY dark but I didn't test it.

I'm still not sure if the oil was the root cause of the stalls. I'll fix the blinker and plate bulb and cross my fingers .

Is anyone interested in meeting up in Daytona during Bike Week or cruising the following 3 weeks in central Florida?

Daytona Bike Week 2020 = Saturday March 6th - Sunday March 15th.

I'll be coming to Florida on March 5th and departing April 4th and staying near Orlando.

Ace Cafe Orlando has Bike Night on Thursdays and their food is awesome so I'm usually there.

I'm also considering a 3-4 day run to Key West the week of the 23rd as well.

hope you do not have to shake too many hands ... COVID 19.... might be immune to exhaust fumes!! but watch out nevertheless

Well, almost made it to Daytona today.
Bike ran perfect for several hours until I got on A1A in traffic and it started hesitating again.

It stalled in traffic last night too. I added oil and it ran fine but I’m now thinking it’s not oil just it cooling down as I found some.

I’m now thinking maybe the TPS or my kickstand sensor splice is loosening up under heat.

just cleaned the temp sensor K&Nfilter and eating lunch in Ponce Inlet before going back to Orlando.

And of course I forgot my ECU cable and spare Primary TPS. Dealers here don’t stock it either.

Did bring a new gas filter and gasket

@tribal sad to hear this brother, I do hope you get it sorted.

Well, the other thing I’ve been doing when it happens is tightening the battery terminals. That didn’t seem to help earlier but I REALLY torqued them down after lunch and she”s running fine.

I don’t think it was the temp filter.

I bought some star lock washers and Blue Locktite and will try that in the am.
Dielectric grease on top didn’t seem to help but I’ll sand the connectors and put it between them.

Trouble running when it gets hot could be coils. Look for a hairline crack.

I have a TPS sensor, pretty sure I brought a TuneECU cable too, in Keaton Beach, outside Perry
