Hi all-
I got my bike all spruced up for the gorgeous weather, and while riding a new problem has developed. I can't really replicate it on purpose, and what happens is while riding (and very rarely while idling) the bike loses a lot of power, the headlight dims and sputters, and the tach starts jumping all over. I've also noticed that once in a while when I try to start it... the moment I hit the start button I hear a zap like sound from the fusebox and the bike shorts out entirely. No fuses are blown, and if I wait a sec, or test the box with a test light the power is restored.
After reviewing the wire diagram, I noticed solenoid 1 & 4, and the tach share a ground and power connection and are in the same circuit... which would explain why an immediate loss of power but the bike keeps running (like it's missing). Any thoughts about testing this and getting it taken care of? Thanx in advance
