Been searching forum for similar problems and can come up with sort of but not exactlly my issue . Bike has been running beautifully for several months now . Have been going into forum and followed the deoxit advise and other suggestions that I see as helpful . Will list what I have done up until issue has started very recently . New battery and cables , (good grounds) , fresh correct plugs , new fuel filter , replaced the radiator temp sensor , this reactivated the fan . Fresh tires , deoxit on any electrical lead that I can pull . Fresh oil and filter . Bought the bike from a seller on Ebay and have been slowly going through this to correct defects . Bike starts and ran great , excellant fuel economy . Have been on several long distance rides with no issue .
Hopefully this will paint a picture . Went out on a short run with daughter recently and bike just died while moving like we lost spark . All electrics still working fine . Starter would turn ,lights all function , switches in correct positions . Dead as a fieldmouse in the cats jaws . Drag bike home and curse alot . Next day try it and she starts right up ! Bike will run about 5 minutes and then just cuts out . Let it sit with a cooling fan on shroud and it will start and run normally until reaching a tempeture that it does not like then will cut out and die . This process can be repeated . Have good spark even after cutoff and seems like I have fuel pressure because while cranking over to check good spark I caught a dragons fireball from cylinder onto my hand . Noted a bit of blue white smoke from tailpipe when it does run but figure this is some flooding . Will check fuel flap tank vent idea next . How about a couple of ideas to follow up on please ? Think I have a heat issue that is shutting down a relay Looking for some ideas here in Norman , Oklahoma US of A
