I went for a 200 mile ride today. My bike 3 times just lost all electrical power? Twice all the dash and lights went out and motor died and then everything flashed back on and it started right up and I just kept on riding. Once was at a stop everything went out so I turned the key on and off and it started right back up. It died the same way on me about two rides ago.
Oddly today it made it over a pass and through the heat of the day. It was about 50 miles from home it acted up three times and then never did it again?
Please help I need this bike to make a big trip soon. Thanks

Two things to check 1-there was a recall on the key switch you will need to see if it was ever replaced. 2-It could be the dogbone fuse has a hair line crack in it,if you have not done the blade fuse holder change I would do it. Just one other thing comes to mind you may need to check your pulse generators,as when they heat up and are bad your motor will die. Just my 2 cents------------------Hal

Being the 5-6th owner how would know if the switch was replaced on recall?

Dog bone is this the metal strip in the main fuse next the battery? if so replace it with what? Just put a blade type fuse actached to each end of the dog bone? If so what amp fuse?

Pulse generator? is this part of the stator? mine is disconected I use the poor boy conversion.

Thanks

I'll check the ign switch tomorrow I both started the bike and wiggled the wires and turn the handle bars right and left it never died?, I had an extra dog bone fuse so Ijust swapped it out. If it acts up again then I'll go to a blade fuse set up.

Odds of it being the pulse generator? It did it once at the start of a ride so would it still be heat?

Sorry I work 10-12 hours a day so not much time to work on the bike. I'm hoping its something simple
I did spray contact cleaner and blew it out several times. I dont see any screws in the switch.
I rode it this morning to work it didnt die, but it doesn't do all the time and when it does it comes back on in a matter of seconds like a relay resetting?
Also I cleaned and checked the relay and main plug to the right of the battery.
And no the clock doesnt loose memory when it happens, just dash, lights and motor go out.Thank you, and please keep it up, it's really helping me.
