    If only @pickled egg would answer anything without trying to be a cute, super wordsmith, funnyboy, many of us could have learned something much quicker.

    BTW, I own a few multimeters...LOL. Heck Harbor freight gives a super cheapo away for free all the time. That one is good enough for this trouble shooting.

    Gee, now it’s my responsibility to give you lessons without giving a friend some glib, smartassed and well-deserved ribbing?

    Sorry Rob. I’ll be all Miss Manners next time a question is asked, I’d hate for any witty repartee to distract from the seriousness of the information you’re apparently entitled to.

    Double time and a half, too. Need to buy some balls so I can run a bucking liter bike through T1 with the throttle to the stops. :moon: :crackup:

    I would suggest that you keep your ovaries, save some money and get a well prepped 300 to work on your WOT application practice. Probably won’t happen overnight even with your enlarged ovaries :Poke:

    Wow, you can answer something using normal English, even though the smart ass stick continues.

    Oxcassionally even @Dave K will answer serious question with a normal response.

    Sorry I made you butthurt...carry on in you normal manner and I will try and get some much lacking sleep.:beer:

    Butthurt? Really? :crackup:

    I do not envy you the headache you will have when you awake. But for now, rest well and dream of large women.

    Ha! If headache means you think I was drunk, my comments were fueled only by water.

    Yeah, for some reason I was never a chubby chaser, even at closing time when I was young. Would rather go home alone and take care of business. Unfortunately, that did lead to longer dry spells than my chubby chasing friends.

    Nah, I was trying to think of something pithy to say and the only thing I could come up with was the Princess Bride quote where Andre the Giant got a nap courtesy of a sleeper hold. ;)

    The burners run off 240vac and it sounds like you let the smoke out of the circuit and instead of it being a short and tripping the breaker it's now an open. The lights and fan are 120vac and are pulling power from one of the legs from the breaker. Does your wall plug have 4 prongs on it? 1 is ground, 1 is neutral, one is 120vac +, one is 120vac -. Electric dryers operate in a similar fashion where the 240vac runs the heating element and the motor that spins the drum is 120vac and uses one of the 120vac legs and a neutral.
    You're going to have to pull the unit apart to see where the open is or replace it.

    I still don't understand this whole 2 x 120 makes a 240 thing.

    Please don't try, my mind's in tooo many other places right now.

    I can wire up all kinds of 120V stuff in my house though.

    e^ Edit- Love the GSX-R Garth. A 600? No stock sterring damper? I see a GSR?

    Yes, yes it is. :D

    ok what I don’t understand (I know, imagine that. ) is like you stated the power line from the breaker box comes into the junction under the cooktop then runs into the cooktop where it splits with one power line going to the opposite (left side) and one staying on the right side. Both run into their individual left side and right side conjunction, then split again to each individual burner front and back. So how is a potential problem on one side of the burner or even just one burner effecting all of the other burners.

    2005 1000. Rolled it into my trailer from Ekland motorsports in Oshkosh right after it was set up. It was the first one they got. I was their Honda rep at the time. I got a set of pre production body work from Billy at Armour works, changed the brake lines and pads and broke it in at RA at a nesba day two days before AMA then had Yosh throw on a slightly blemished exhaust that they couldn’t retail on their race semi headed to AMA RA put it on with a Dynojet PC had it dyno’d at the track, spooned on some Dunlop slicks and qualified and raced The AMA Superstock class that weekend, first time on a 1000. Pretty much bone stock. The bike was that good.

    This is golden. The problem as I see it is you didn't have your sticker guy give your given name the appropriate peer-wrinkle for your windscreen, thereby reinforcing to yourself that you and 220 circuits would (should!) forever be separated by thought and action. At least when it comes to repair.

    May I suggest a proper, gas-fired cooktop? :)

    There’s no plug. It’s hard wired with wire nuts inside a junction box at the cooktop.
