Thank you for the help guys! ;-)

I've already put a new plug in when I did the oil change.

I don't know how I missed it when I did my research concerning the hiccup, but here is the ground mod done on my bike 30 minutes ago.

There's still a lot of parts to be bought for the bike, including a skid plate, some hand guards, a bigger tank and a rear rack just to name a few.

I'll try the bike tomorrow if I can find some time and report back to give you updates about the ground mod.

Thanks again ;-)

OK OK, you guys shamed me into doing the ground mod. Seems to have fixed it, but I just took a short ride. I'll know this weekend for sure. Thanks for the push.
