2009 VRSCDX Night Rod Special
It started when during a ride the bike seemed to cut out and then catch back up immediately. Like I almost stalled out but caught it at the last second. But it definitely seemed electrical.
Then the next day, when I flipped the switch to RUN it started up without hitting the momentary START switch. This happened sporadically. Sometimes doing it, sometimes not. Giggling on the wires leading into the controls didn't seem to make a difference.
THEN, I pulled the controls apart to look at the wiring. Everything looked ok and when apart, it didn't have issues with starting. I put it back together and again, tested it several times without issue.
Went for a ride 30 minutes later and the switch issue returned. Then while riding the bike just shut off in the middle of the ride and I had to hit the START button to start her back up while rolling down the road. This happened twice on the 3-mile ride to my house.
Any ideas? I would think there is an issue with the momentary START switch being faulty. That would explain it starting when just turning the bike the run, but would that also cause the bike to shut off during riding?
Thanks
