I dont run the TL on my freestyle motor, i got fed up with it

When i ride im out for a long time and cant be bothered with the all round agrovation TL can be. With my engine spec i really dont think i need it either to be honest, theres more than enough power to do what i want.

What sort of hassle are you talking about?
I know that TL can indeed be a pain in the ass if something isn't running right, and God knows there are plenty of components in there that can foul up.
I am just curious as to what was aggravating you.

MSD Brains going down, battery charging. Just general pissing about that i got fed up with. Maybe it wasnt setup properly who knows but the difference wasnt big enough for me to want to keep it.

It was a hassle to get going and a steep learning curve...it's not an easy mod, for sure. But, now that I have it setup properly, I am happy with it.

However, if the brain ever goes out, I will not replace it. Stocker charging system and lightened FW if that happens.

That's debatable.
However, if I had to buy one new - 1400 Dollars :bs2: ...I just wouldn't.

But alas, I paid 375 for mine, and that was good. Sorry to hijack the thread.
I need to post bilge pics, but it looks like a huge f'n mess....like a beaver nesting in there.
I need to get my cabling under control.

Here is what can go wrong with TL

1. Brain Goes out
2. Pickups go out
3. figure out which pickup went out............ See #2
4. Bad connection (something shorting out)
5. Battery stops taking full charge.......
6. See Items 1-5.

Here’s a picture of my old engine, the new one I’m working on will be epoxy powder coated with lots of internal mods.

Warmer weather’s coming soon and the new engine’s almost done. I’ve been doing most of my riding at John’s Pass, Fort DeSoto, and Lake Seminole. I here there are some good waves up at the Dunedin Inlet. :headbang:

Sometimes. the water is really shallow on a long sand bar so the waves get picked up there. We might go there this weekend if we don't go to daytona.
