Default Thanks

Finally got back to work on the ride.
Evidently the charger (dead battery) was putting out to many volts and causing the issue. Changed chargers and it will run but still has a little pop or sputter every now and then.
New issue is the bike is not charging the battery so I'm on the hunt now to find out why.

Again, Thanks for the help
