Was in TeLlico Plains Tenn. Monday riding and my OPMID went bat shit crazy. Started throwing max rpm symbol bars and flashing over rev two greens and red light on bottom. Engine seemed fine at the time .............. but............. Tuesday took off from camp ground with same symptoms and it then lost ability to sense what gear it was in ............. then............... engine started to cut out/stumble at high speed, not surge.... then 20 miles later it began to lose power.... then 5 miles after that it started to quit. Would start up and run but as soon as you would take off and accelerate it would quit again. Was as far from camp ground as possible being at bottom of our loop down to Hiwassee River and back and after numerous attempts to keep running it would not start again. Later back in campground it would start and quit. Yes Johnny you can tow a CT125 in the mountains but its a sporty course. Got to use crash bar to retain steering and try to keep rope off set with NO slack occurring. Putting on front rack gave no steering capability at all. Front brake gave up after 20 miles? Had to use rear. Front came back a little later. Was 98 degrees. Companion CT125 proved they are indeed a little red donkey as it pulled the broken one with a 220lb rider up and down Hwy 68 from the Ocoee river area. Yes it wasn't happy and over heat was flashing now and then but that was flashing any way all day going up hills due to heat. Now got to take bike to dealer and figure out what happened with broken one? Electronic problem? ECU me thinks and was progressive?
