howsit guys

i have a rather annoying problem in that the new/old scoot has developed an intermittent ignition failure.  1st time it happened was after a 630km ride and 2km from my destination!  sometimes there is spark and sometimes not. 

has this happened to any of you guys and how did you solve it?  first time it happened it backfired and farted and developed no power.  if it happens while riding, the rev counter drops to 1000 rpm when it should read 4000.  dont want to spend thousands on the electrical system when it could just be a small fault.

happy new year by the way!

hope to join you guys for the gathering, even if it is not on a gs!
