Title: What the???? Post by spearheadss on 05/14/15 at 16:42:44 Ah I am so fed up with this bike right now. I was riding down the road yesterday and the bike shut off. I mean this thing was dead as a door nail. When I hit the switch nothing happened. No lights nothing. When I came back to pick it up a couple hours later with a friend of mine, it clicked when trying to start it. What the crap is going on? A little about the bike. New battery. Had it checked out the battery is fine. Raptor petcock, Screaming Eagle exhaust. New 7 inch headlight. This one. https://www.dimecitycycles.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=6635-26 I have rejetted to 150 main and 50 pilot. Also have wrapped the exhaust and I have 12,500 miles on it. I also have Routy's forward controls on it. Otherwise the remainder is stock. I need help. (Let's try to keep it in the mechanical help area) ;D

Title: Re: What the???? Post by Gary_in_NJ on 05/14/15 at 18:36:34 I've had a new battery fail. If one of the end plates vibrates and cracks the battery is toast. A voltage test wont show the problem, it has to be a load test.

Title: Re: What the???? Post by spearheadss on 05/17/15 at 04:24:17 A clip came undone so the battery wasn't charging. Thanks for the encouragement and help.
