rbig1 Posted November 14, 2012 Share #1 Posted November 14, 2012 was on my first night ride. going down the highway thought it was cutting out but wasant sure still had plenty of power. then was town driving stopped at the busiest intersection would not rev up then all power went dead. pushed it to the side nothing. pushed into a church parking lot pulled cover off. reached down to left side of battery. lights came back on. and would start. rode one block same thing. so every time it would start cutting out would reach under left handle bar wiggle wire and it would straighten out made it home doing this. any ideas. not the fuse box or battery cables. wire to computer above the area. :think: why why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted November 15, 2012 Share #2 Posted November 15, 2012 Sounds like you should be able to start it up and start wiggling wires till you find the culprit. If you still have the stock fuse panel with glass fuses, that is a well documented problem area. Pull each fuse and check both ends of the fuse clips to be sure they have good tension. There is a kit available from SkyDoc_17 that replaces the whole fuse panel with modern fuses. this fixes many electrical gremlins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbig1 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted November 15, 2012 is there a relay everything is powered through.does the power cable go to a solenoid before the fuse box as no power anywhere when dead. the only way to get in there is to remove battery box. or can i take off top off faring where the radio is. need to replace speaker anyway. tool needed {ie; gas and matches or what}:sign just kidding:not to that point yet:innocent: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbig1 Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share #4 Posted November 16, 2012 well took headlight out then took radio off could not reach anything. so then took battery out. under all the computer plugs there is a terminal that the main power goes through. looks like a fuse. wire was in two pieces. repaired it couldnt get it to act up. so that must have been it. took about an hour and a half. pita:banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestarmedic Posted November 16, 2012 Share #5 Posted November 16, 2012 It is in a holder. Looks like a wire between 2 screws. My holder had a spare fuse link in a slot in the cover. Pulled out like an old safety razor dispenser. It is a 40 amp fuse. I replaced mine with a Max Fuse holder. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
