It sounds like your starter is drawing too much current and when you try and engage it whilst the bike is running your voltage drops that low the bike stops. You could confirm this with a multi meter.
Yep.Doesn't this question and thread already exist in another forum, from like yesterday?
I've just merged both threads together.
Don't do that.just barely tapping it cuts the bike completely off....
True but these bikes were American made using Japanese designs by non union workers.It's amazing how many WEIRD things can go wrong with these machines...good Lord, some of the stuff NASA builds is probably less complex!
