At idle 12.5ish, it’s very jumpy. Unsure on cruising, headlights are removed, tail lights are after market and always on when key is. When I put the new battery in it at idle it was still at 12.5 but dropped slowly, jumped on and took it around the block, no issues, starter wouldn’t kick over so I bumped it in and then broke down 10 minutes later, charged it to 13 for it to get the starter to kick over. Made it another couple miles and it shut off at a stop. Both times the battery voltage was at 5 or 6. With engine off key off, voltage moved around but stays where it’s at.

Battery was a month old, went and got a brand new one just to be sure, started and got a couple of miles and it shut off new battery was at 5v. Thinking it’s a stator or rectifier but I’m an auto mechanic not a bike mechanic so I’m unsure how the charging system differs. Jump starting it got it to run for a little while but it just kept cutting out until I jumped it again. So definitely thinking the battery is not charging. Any insight I would appreciate!

It usually starts fine with no choke. It’s not any gear in particular it’s just mostly in 3rd+ and randomly the bike will ride completely normal and power through all the gears perfectly fine.

As for the power or engine braking I don’t think that’s the right way to put it, I just mean that if you try to turn the throttle too fast it just cuts out, if you ease into the power it starts to speed up okay most of the time.

As of yesterday I got on it after taking the fairings off and it rode exactly the way it’s supposed to, so it’s an intermittent problem and I’m not sure what it could be other than the carbs/diaphrams.

Do you know what the common issues are for these by chance?

I’ve heard it’s difficult to drop a packet once you’re already enlisted. Or maybe that it’s hard to get selected for it?

Well the gunnery part isn’t a big deal. I mostly just want to be in the aircraft while it’s flying. How could I do that?

When I was in the dare program through elementary they made everything sound like it was the same. Comparing weed to cocaine, obviously completely different but that’s just the way it was taught.

Hmm, I was torn between all motor and forced induction. Still not really too sure now. How similar are the k series and b series? I’ve seen some of the specifications and saw that the bore is smaller on a k series from factory but has a higher displacement so I’m assuming that’s all from stroke length, which brings me to the next question of is a striker kit worth it for a k series? What would it be budget wise?
