Alright my bike died on me my bike mechanic told me it was probobally the PGM1 but he wasnt sure. Is there anyway to test the PGM or RCvalve box im not sure what the other box is or does? But recently my bike was maxing out at 120km and really feeling crappy first gear pulled threw fine but the other gears were really bogging and there was no point to use 6th would bog crazy bad!!! And i think there is no spark know to with my bike any ideas on what is wrong would be great thanks!!!!

Hi thanks for the reply well im canadian currently living in China and i cant really comunicate with the guy he is kinda ghetto mechanic but he knows enough i belive!! Well my bike was kicking outa at 120km so i belive maybe the RC valve box or it could be the PGM1 because i deristricted it the same way as you would a PGM2 i know im stupid after this it felt the sameway as it always but i was riding doing 120 trying to push it over then it died the engine is fine and he told me it was one of the boxes but he said the pgm1 was fine so he said it was the other ones rc valve box and im not sure what the one is on oppisite side of the pgm what does that one do?

If you have an MC18 like your name suggests, then you should have the PGM2, not a PGM1. Very Happy
