My bike runs great but sometimes just dies for no reason with no warning. It's almost as if the kill switch is being hit so i think it could be some sort of a shorting wire. sometimes i can ride for an hour and it wont die at all and other times it will die twice within a matter 10 minutes it does it most often with 30 seconds after a full throttle run but it has never died at full throttle or at idle. any ideas?

 

same thing happened to me.i just ignored it and a week after riding it,my reeds shatterd apart.i dont know if the 2 had anything to do with one another?

 

420 what kind of reeds were you running in it ?

 

i was running the v-force,same as what i have now..

 

I just wondered because I'm running the stock reeds yet.

 

I am also running the stock reeds maybe that could be the problem??

 

just the other day someone told me the stock reeds never go out...it was on here i was asking about aftermarket reeds...

 

anyone else have any ideas?

 

This may sound stupid, but quite often when I'm turning or just goofing and not paying attention I bump the kill switch by accident. Doesn't really sound like your problem, but it doesn't always switch all the way off so when the handle bars get straight it corrects itself. It took me a while to catch on.

 

i was thinking about that the first couple times it happened but after that i was paying extra attention to that kind of stuff so im pretty sure its not that but thanks anyway
