It just shuts down...... F4i
What's crackin' y'all?
Well, I think I'm dwindling down the issues list of this damn bike....but anyway....
Right now the problem is....the bike keeps shutting down. I was traveling down the highway the other day at about 90mph when all of a sudden the bike kept surging like it was running out of gas, but it wasn't gas. It was the whole bike (power/electrical included) shutting on and off very rapidly. Almost like a loose connection. It lasted for about 15 seconds and then stopped. I tried to draw all the power I could so I turned on the highbeams, blinker, and started honking the horn.....yes....all while going 90, lol. It would intermittently loose power. All connections are TIGHT. Also, sometimes when I am at a stop light or going real slow, I pull in the clutch and it dies. Not a choke like low on fuel.......more like "pull the plug" straight up dies, instantly. But it doesn't happen all time. Maybe once or twice a day....sometimes more since the issue is getting worse. I'm thinking stator or dying battery. Any thoughts would be fricken AWESOME! Thanks in advance guys!

Re: It just shuts down...... F4i
usually i would associate that with a loose ground. if it was a bad battery then it would just be dead. and also if it was the stator then the battery would also be dead, i would suggest that you look at the ground.
