Electrical Issue ????
Posted: |October 28th, 2014|, 8:41 pm
Been a long time since posted on here, too long in fact.
Looking for some advice.......
..........developed a problem with the bike, it's not all the time. Turn the ignition the red electrical light comes on the dash, once you start the bike, the light goes off and it runs fine. However sometimes the red light stays on and that's where things get funky.
The bike pig roots, back fires on the down shift, acceleration will cut out and the throttle lags and surges.
The bike is regularly maintained and serviced, used to get it done at Action, but they have gone the wayside, last serviced in late July.
The bike had a new stator/rectifier 20 months ago, just put new spark plugs in, as I thought that might be the issue. Fuel pump is okay, thought it might be dirty fuel, but that doesn't explain the issues linking to the red light. I'm thinking the wiring harness, might have a loose connection.
It's a 2000 Cagiva V-Raptor, Italian bike, with a TLS engine and wiring harness if I'm not wrong.
Be grateful for any thoughts.......
