Hi..

Happened to me a couple of times... There is connection behind the n/s side panel that had come undone on mine.. ended up cable tie'ing it together.. I think it comes from the finned thing.. (voltage regulator?)

Might be worth a look!

I can vouch for the airbox mod (thanks TL)... much more smiles! As for the best thing I've bought...
