So my 85 k100rt decided it was time to cause some trouble,
I was riding down the road and the whole bike, electrical, engine everything just dies no gauges nothing, pull over to the side of the road (after almost getting run over when bike suddenly slows down) turned key to off and back on everything came back up turned to start position (using starter button) and bike started and ran again. So turned around and headed home as I headed home it started doing it more and more with the bike moving I can take key to start position and the forward motion of the bike will restart engine and electrical will come back online but cuts out again a little while down the road.
Got home put the bike in garage and started it and now when I twist throttle in neutral with clutch in the bike dies (electrical and all) like I hit the kill switch, cycle the key and everything runs fine til I twist throttle again.
Not sure where to start on this one any ideas would be great.
Thanks,
Dave
