I bought a 2007 Harley XL1200N Nightster last summer. I had it for 3 weeks when this happened. I stopped for gas on the way to work, and as I was pulling away from the pump it started chugging, not wanting to run, and puking smoke everywhere. Then it shut down and wouldn't refire. I thought the engine blew (only had 600 miles on it) and was paranoid the warrantee wouldn't cover it becasue I already did some work to it (stage one ECU download, pipes, and less restrictive intake). I got my free HOG membership tow back to my house, hopped in my Jeep, and got to work almost 2 hours late. I posted to the Harley forums, and commenced freaking out at work all day. My friends all ride RC51's, GSXR1000's, etc, so they were having a ball that my brand fricken new Harley already blew up. After a while I checked the forum again from work. Most of the posts told me how my dealer would probably screw me, a few said they shouldn't, and one wise soul, who I will forever owe a beer, said "are you sure you didn't put diesel in it?" In a crashing revelation, it all came back to me. I remembered that the pump I usually go to was being used, so I rode around to the other side. The side I rode around to is the only one that has a diesel pump, and I was just used to grabbing the handle on the right. It also happened to have a 92 octane sticker right next to it, just on the wrong side. I even remembered staring at the green handle while I was filling it, but was too tired to think anything of it. So I finally get off of work, set the unofficial land speed record for a stock 2000 Jeep Wrangler on 33's with stock gearing (roughly 90mph, gotta be a record), and get home to check on the bike. I pop the fuel cap, sniff, yep... diesel. Sigh a relief because I couldn't imagine how diesel could do anything worse than clog an injector, and get to work. After draining the diesel, I filled it up, and cranked the starter for a bit. After a few rough coughing smokey starts, it finally stays running, and after working the throttle and my neighbor's nerves, it finally clears up. The funny thing is it actually ran better after this, I think it lubed the top end or something and made it run quieter, lol.

The moral of the story is sometimes being an idiot works out okay. Just trying to spread hope.....
