Consumer Description

THE ENGINE QUIT, AND EVERYTHING WENT DEAD EXCEPT FOR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, WHERE EVERY LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE FUEL LEVEL LCD STARTED FLASHING. TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND TAKING THE KEY OUT DID NOTHING. EVERYTHING STAYED LIT UP. THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER, EVERYTHING TURNED OFF, AND I WAS ABLE TO RE-INSERT THE KEY, AND START HER RIGHT UP. THIS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC DURING A NORMAL COMMUTE, ON TWO OCCASIONS WITHIN 24 HOURS. IT WAS EASILY REPRODUCIBLE BY INSERTING THE KEY TURNING THE BIKE ON, AND REPEATING A FEW TIMES UNTIL IT RE-OCCURRED. AT THE SHOP, THEY DISCOVERED THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS HAD BEEN IMPROPERLY GROUNDED, CAUSING A SHORT THAT RESULTED IN SYSTEM-WIDE DISABLING OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR
