    I took the Helmet for a quick drive. I got on it in second gear I think I hit the rev limiter. I lost power and it sounded like some thing let go. It sounded like a quiet exhaust leak or may be like is a plug blows out of the head and you can hear the compression coming out. There was no loud bang. I check the compression and it is 140-150 on all cylinders. It had three codes Engine-DME Motor, Champ-BO user interface, JBE Junction-box conditioning. I cleared them and only the JBE code came back. But it says something about the passenger door. When I crank it it has a dead miss.

    I'll take any help.

    I wish I could help...but the only thing I can do is give you moral support. Hope it's something minor.

    Ok I found it it was just a coil pack. That was a very odd time to let go.
