Consumer Description

1. BIKE WOULD COMPLETELY GO DEAD WHILE RIDING, GAUGES GO BLACK AND BIKE WILL NOT CRANK. IT HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES 2. PROBLEM WAS A TOTAL LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER, THIS MEANS NO LIGHTS, NO IGNITION, NO GAUGES, LIKE IF SOMEONE HAD TURNED OFF THE IGNITION SWITCH. 3. I TROUBLE SHOT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE MOTORCYLCE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE SHOP WANTED TO CHARGE ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO LOOK AT IT. I FOUND THE CONNECTOR ON THE WIRE HARNESS THAT GOES TO THE IGNITION SWITCH BLACK AND BURNT FROM THE WIRES SHORTING TOGETHER. I BYPASSED THE CONNECTOR WITH A NEW CONNECTION. THE OLD CONNECTOR IS STILL AVAILABLE. *JB
