  • Started, ran, lost all power, electrical bug?

    Warmed bike up this morning, during warm up up I lost all electrical and engine power after about 15 min of running. It did idle kinda high for about 5 of those minutes. The rear drive side fuse blew, replaced it, no power still. Is there a thermal kill switch in it to keep from over heating? When it died thee was some steam rolling off if it, was covered in frost when I started her up, so not sure...

      After resetting the breaker and eliminating each circuit to trace the problem, found out it was the oil sending unit. I had dropped the bike on the signal generator side, denting the cover, turns out this was shorting out against the sending unit. Raided the parts bike, all better now

        I hate tracing down electrical problems, glad you solved it!

          yeah, no kidding, sometimes hard to tell if its a wire or a part, lol. So relieved it was something simple like that.
