[QUOTE="okmac, post: 236246, member: 2788"] I talked with the mechanic that is working on my bike this morning. To make a long story short, I had contaminated fuel . At first the mech . thought that I might have filled up with diesel fuel by mistake. He said the fuel had a strange orange color to it . Everything on the bike checked out ok, fuel, elect. etc. He put in new gas and went for a ride and it ran fine. The weather is bad now but he wants to take it for another ride friday just to make sure. I filled up at a Bp gas station which should have had good fuel . Anyway this is a relief to me but kinda embarrassed by the fact that I caused the problem. Just glad I did not get too vocal about the problem on a new bike. The other problem, smoke coming out by the side stand turned out to be the foam that is glued to the fairing there. Thanks Bmwhd you saved us some time there as I called and told them to check that. So it looks like this Sat. I will be picking up my bike and feeling good that it didn't need any major repair and was good from the start. What will be interesting is who is going to pay the bill, it probably should be on me . We shall see. Thanks for all the input. Mac [/QUOTE]
