Any one ever had this happen?

When I'm riding my 07 SP800 sometimes when I touch the brake lever it shocks me, like static electricity, but its strong enough it will shock though my glove and it will make me jerk my hand off the bar.

 

do you have handwarmers or any thing else electrical running on the handle bars? only other thing i can think o f it theres a bare wire somewhere touchin metal charging the whole bike.

 

nothing electrical added except my GPS power, but its plugged into the 12v plug

 

no winch? if you have the key on and lok at the voltage out put is it still showing 12.5 volt

 

oh ya it does have a winch, I forgot about that, I will check the Voltage when I get home.

 

just make sure that the winch cables didnt get cut on any metal like the frame or brackets and have exposes wire to metal.

 

ok

 

One would not feel 12 volts, would be like touching the + terminal of the battery. I have sometimes gotten a lil tingle like maybe 2-3 times seemed was on the left side. Do not remember the circumstances when it occoured. Like wet hands or something.

 

Check the ground at the coil as well as check the plug wires for shorts. I had an old sled do the same thing and the coil was shorting out.

 

I check the winch as best as I could, I forgot to check the coil and plug wires before it got dark, but the only thing I can find so far is I have a horn installed and it is grounded to the handle bars but like "upnort" said I don't think I'm feeling 12 Volts.
