You may have to define this a tad more. What do you mean loses power? Does the electrical flicker and the bike dies? What exactly is cruising speeds? If its in any gear, the RPM's will be different for each gear. Does it give good acceleration until say 8,000 rpm and then dies. Any wierd sounds associated with it? Did you happen to use corn-oil gas and your lines are dried out? Give all the information you can please so we can help you out the best way possible.

take seat off, remove neg cable, then pos cable, and install in reverse. make sure battery has at least 12.5v or the battery will need recharging.

Hae, for the brake fluid you can use either as long they're the recommended fluid either a DOT 3 or 4. For the brand it is your choice, all will work as long as it meets the standard criteria set in your owner's service manual.

Carb jets are clogging up

Possible that the contacts failed inside the transmission or the bulb failed in the dash board.
You can leave it if the problem is within so as not to open the unit to replace the switch contact.

I was at the local race shop in Milton Fl getting new rear tire and the owner of the shop took it for a spin to scuff the tire. When he got back he said he got the F1 code. He plugged a short wire looking thing into a plug under the seat. Took it to code machine and got c-11 code. which is cam position sensor I think he said. but he said he had never seen that error code before. I think the F1 blinking light indicates an error only. You have to have it analyzed with the bike running and code blinking to diagnose the exact issue. Ive got the same bike pictured above and I have been getting error codes pretty much since I bought it brand new in 08. It doesnt seem to affect anything tho, the bike runs normally. Mine usually comes on everytime I start it when its cold. but I can let it run a few seconds then restart it and most of the time the light will not come back on for the rest of my ride. Every now and then it will come on while riding. So I dont know if I'm getting more codes than the C-11 that came up for dude at bike shop or not. I should have taken mine in to have it looked at but never did cuz the bike runs normal as far as i can tell. Annoying as hell though when it comes on at night.

under the gas tank next to the fuel rail !

well try rearanging them to see difference--however make sure each plug wire is not bad or worn and inspect coil/transister points

Its nothing to do with the damper
The battery may not be accepting charge due to its age or condition (although as u can bump it soon after it sounds ok). Check this out with a charger & meter
There may be a bad or dirty connection somewhere between the alternator & regulator/rectifier or from there to the battery
It could also be a defective alternator winding or regulator/rectifier unit

If you are sitting on the bike the left coil has an orange/white wire on the top and a white wire on the bottom.The HT leads go to plugs 1 4.The right coil has an orange/white lead on the top and a black/yellow wire on the bottom.The other HT leads go to 2 3.It doesnt matter which HT lead goes to either plug as thboth HT leads on the same coil fire at the same time (wasted spark system).Hope this has helped or you have already sorted it out.

Im pretty sure my 2008 came with the coolant reservoir on the riders right side towards the front of the bike behind the fairing.

It's a mode selection. Basically if you have a 600cc A mode is 600cc, B mode makes it a 450cc, C mode makes it a 250cc. Not exactly, but basically. It's essentially pointless but it can come in handy to control throttle during the rain so the rider doesn't over throttle and spin the rear tire.

if bike has had after market muffler fitted the exup contol unit plug to original muffler will have been disconnected caused light to come on,you can buy a bridge plug that tricks ecu into thinking exup is still connected. if muffler still std bike will need to have fault codes read out with tester to see what problem is .

IF CHANGING MIRROR THINK CAN NOT BUY FUULL THING

there is no adjustment for this as far as i know, just check that nothing is stopping the gear lever from being pressed all the way down, does it go down, but wont select the gear, or does it not move down? most likely the problem is in your gearbox unfortunatly.
