This Problem Across All Years
MOTORCYCLE QUITS WHILE RIDING. CIRCUIT BREAKER WAS RECALLED AND REPLACED IN JUNE, 2008. ON A RIDE WITH THE MOTORCYCLE ON 6/20/2008. THE MOTORCYCLE LOST ALL POWER, ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL, WHILE RIDING IN TRAFFIC. RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC SINCE BRAKE LIGHTS AND EMERGENCY SIGNALS DO NOT FUNCTION WITHOUT ELECTRICAL POWER. GOT TO SIDE OF ROAD AND AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO, THE POWER IS RESTORED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ON THE SAME DAY AND IS VERY DISCONCERTING. THE DEALER HAS NO REMEDY, OTHER THAN TO HAVE ME LEAVE THE VEHICLE FOR LABOR INTENSIVE DIAGNOSIS AT MY EXPENSE. PLEASE ADVISE. REPLACEMENT OF THE MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TR
