Lisa went out on a claim this morning and called to tell me that this guy's garage burned down, lost two cars, and the culprit is a CBR949.
Seems this guy bought a used 949 from a employee at a stealership (note that). Paid 6K. The guy tells him that he just replaced the battery 5 months ago and don't leave the key on because the it will drain the battery in a couple of minutes.
Hun??
Anyway, the guy picks it up, rides home. The next day he gets out and rides for a while then parks it in the garage (key off), and goes in for a nap. A little while later a neighbor comes banging on his door yelling that the garage is on fire. Total loss, all contents. Fire investigator prelim report says the fire started with the bike.
Sounds to me like there was something seriously wrong with the electrical when he bought it. And the battery draining, after a couple of minutes.... sounds fishy.
