It will if it dies on you. Did you figure out the issue?

ya I thought I had it up and running after the battery wouldn't even hold a charge for a proper test. So new battery tested 13volts ignition off and 14ish running. Rode to work today and on the way home a mile from the house the Yellow engine warning light comes on. At home I tested the battery engine off and it reading 11.8 volts???? So I tested the rectifier/regulator in diode mode and all three channels were in the 490's and a check of the continuity of the stator showed no shorts. I am quickly getting out of my mechanical league.

I might do this one since I've never done TWS, but probably only one day.

Cool, I'll get to watch you killin it in L2. I'm signed up for L1 Sat. This will be my first time at TWS so I'm not sure what to except other than the Ridesmart part. If I have a good experience I may do TWS May 29th also.

TWS is an awesome track! I am very sad they dont want to put money into it to have a better surface of the track...it has some weird scetchy areas but a very fast track!
Have fun yall!!!Enjoy it as long as you can...till they finally close it down...altough they keep saying it for years...
Stop chasing shadows just enjoy the ride.
