My RT just cut out today, about 10km from home. I did notice that the starter motor was sluggish, so I thought maybe the battery was stuffed, but everything else looked ok. I started coasting it down hill and out of interest, stuck it in second gear and it jump started no problem, so I continued on for a km or so, did what I was going to do but left the bike idling, and then headed back towards home. It got to the top of the same hill, then stopped again. A nice young lady from a nearby farmhouse let me park in her yard off the road and gave me a lift into town as well.
The fuel pump is running ok, the starter motor is sluggish sometimes, but not others, lights etc all seem to be working ok. When it is going it runs well.
I'll strip and clean the ignition switch over the weekend, but really to me it seems like a relay is on its way out or a connector or something.
Apart from the ignition switch, any other suggestions?
