RSV4 has a scary stalling issue
750 has electrical issues
600 has electrical issues (probably just battery)
BMW is in for a recall and service
250 is not street legal currently
125 needs bad gas drained and plug cleaned (won't start due to fouled plug and bad gas).

I just wish if he's not going to keep his bike running, he'd switch to a different brand.

Got the GS back.

Knobbies give me a pretty good speed wobble above about 105-110mph.

It's gonna wobble when you ride it down a 99% grade.

I've got to imagine there is some way to get the knobbies off it.

Pretty sure the 600 is fine now

Dealer can't find / reproduce the issue with the RSV4, still in the shop.

Shop may have found the issue with the 750 but still no "fix" yet.

They are probably just letting the RSV4 sit and idle, waiting for it to stall. Good luck with that.

I told them over the phone more than once how to do it, but that doesn't mean they are trying it.

Best thing to, catch it on video. The more details in it the better. Solves wonders when facing intermittent issues like that.
