I have a 85 k100 and i love it but ive been having some problems with it.. the bike doesnt hold a charge. i changed the alternator (with a used one) and i changed the battery. the bike when charged starts up no problem but when you let it sit there is dies within a very short period of time.. if you put the choke on it stays running so i though if i kept my hand on the gas a bit it wouldnt shut off.. I as wrong the bike was probably at 45 mph when i shut off on me in the middle of the street, luckily it was right in front of my brothers house.. when trying to start the bike immediately after coming to a stop it tried to start but after a few time the battery (which is brand new) was dead.. I am thinking its a charging issue.. I swapped the alternator like i said previously.. I need to get back on the road and i really dont want to drop money on having my guy look at it right now since im getting married in two months and need to save up for the wedding... PLEASE HELP MY GUYS!!!
