    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

After taking a 35 min. on my bike I came home to notice a car parked where i needed to go. I turned off my bike, moved the car and when I hit the start button I heard a click noise and all the electronics shut down. I turned the key back and forth and nothing would come on including the dash and head lights. A couple days later I checked the fuses.. all of them were good. I checked the wire connections, they were all good too. So I thought maybe something killed the battery. Sure enough when I hooked jumper cables to the battery all the lights came back on. when i started it it ran rough and didn't sound quite right. While it was running all the lights flickered as the engine struggled a little to get warmed up. The stranges thing of all though is that when i turned the throttle, the bike stumbled and the RPMs dropped to Zero, even though the bike was still running. it never stalled. I have no idea what to make of this situation. Can anyone help me? is my computer blown? what's broken?
 
has anyone heard of anything like this happening?

has anyone heard of anything like this happening?

I am very confused...
 
Sounds like a loose battery connection to me. And perhaps the bike being flooded when starting it via car battery.
 
I'd agree on a loose battery ground or bad connection. Plus your bike is designed to run on a fully charged battery and if yours is no good you will get those symptoms.
