G'day,
As some of you might know, I've recently sorted out a number of electrical issues and the bike was perfect for about an hour and a half.
I seem to lurch from one catastrophe to another.
What's happening now is this.
Riding home from work, the engine stopped as though I had hit the kill switch. I had all electrical functionality except the starter button.
I scratched my head, hit the starter button and it fired right up.
Off I went for about ten seconds when it happened again.
This has been going on for about four days.
Each time it happens, I have no engine power at all but all the electrics work (apart from the starter button)
It happened once while rolling down hill at speed and I couldn't clutch start it. No ignition, but all of a sudden, it started up.
It's been getting progressively worse to the point now that I can't get anything to happen when I hit the starter button.
I've had to leave the bike on the side of the road and walk home.
I thought there may be a problem with the pick up wire, but that shouldn't stop the engine from cranking and a faulty starter button shouldn't have any impact on a running engine so I'm stumped.
Any thoughts?
