Hi guys,

Sorry, it’s a pretty long post, but I really need some help.

First time my bike stuck about 80 miles from home. I took my wife down the shore and we found ourselves far away from home with dead bike. After spending 2 hours trying to figure out the problem I managed to fire it up and we were safe. I rode the bike for about 3 weeks – no problems. Second time. Again I took my wife, rode the bike about 15 miles – the bike stopped working. But what I figured out is that it was a fuel pump not pumping gas. The starter worked but the bike wouldn’t start. I noticed that that the battery drained about half also, but still had enough power for starter.  $145 for towing service, and I am home. I changed the fuel pump, made complete electrical test and RR test. OK, everything was fine. I drove the bike every day to my work for about two weeks with no problems. I also took it to a track and rode the s….t out of it – not a single problem.

But, then, again, I took my wife to the shore and the bike stuck just in the middle of the road after 30 mins of riding.. I noticed that odometer and speedometer measurements started shaking like hell !! Then the bike finely died and the battery was completely dead. Another $200 for towing. Came back home, charged the battery, retested the rectifier and everything else I could – fine results. I put voltmeter on the bike, rode for about 20 miles. It showed 14 volt almost all the time at 70 mph. 14.5 V max and 13.7 V min. But most of the time it was 14. The battery is charging and everything seems to be fine. I just don’t know what else I can do. Why does it always happen when I take my wife with me ??? NO NO, please no comments on that. Seriously is it possible that RR starts overheating with increased load? Why my dashboard units were showing crazy readings?  Is there a possibility of short somewhere? What seems to be the problem??? Yeah, I am going to buy AAA now, but what else? Should I just sell the sucker???

I am desperate (((
