Then either it was done wrong, or there was something wrong with the bike. 12volts is 12volts.

And I tried for 7th a couple times yesterday.......

Well of course just to make sure. I watch my mirrors alot to make sure the wife is still there and ok on her R6 and sometimes have to think "am I in 5th or 6th" .

Now when I'm not watching for her and getting on it then no...I know what gear I'm in.

it's just that EE's will say that it can never happen, what they don't take into account is a weak part and that usually ends up being the igniter/cdi. it's up to you if you want to take the chance.

I have 6th in *my* cage. I've thought about it a time or two in Carolina's car, but where my 6th is, would be her reverse. That would be ugly.
