Default Ingintion problems

Does any one have problems with their ignition wiring. Mine starts great but as soon I make any movements too the handle bars, it shuts down. I wiggle the wires a bit and the dash lights up . No wires are broken.

Wires don't have to be visibly broken or cut. They can be soft,broken internally,or wires not fully making contact into connectors that break contact when under stress such as turning as you mentioned. Plus a simple bad or loose ground wire can cause problems. Wiring shorts are simply a process of elimination. Plus don't over look the obvious if ignition switches are on the dash and you have a key chain on them. Simple jarring of the key from the weight can kill one in it's tracks.
