07 st. bob dies suddenly,any one?
I have just recently had a problem, here it goes... riding all day, stop for a smoke, shut off the bike. When I went to start it, the following events take place. Turn on the ignition...flick the switch to run...I can hear the fuel pump...idiot light in the speedo goes out. Hit the starter switch...hear a loud click....then the bike goes dead. I mean dead... no head light, no nothing....DEAD ! Checked all the fuses, checked the battery terminals, everything seems to be good. A few minutes go by, fumbled with ignition switch, turned the key back and forth, still nothing...left the key in the on position...walked around the bike a few times scratching my head...all of the sudden ,without touching anything the headlight comes on and all dash lights come on... I think what the hell, gremlins? Hit the starter real quick, loud click, and then...DEAD ! This happens twice, in a matter of about 15 mins. Suddenly again the lights come on again, hit the starter, It goes!!, everything is back to normal, ride home and get her in the garage. Couple of hours later after everything is cooled down I figure I give her another try, she starts up as per normal, everything seems fine! What the hell is going on? Sure dont need this to happen 100 miles from home!! Anybody have any guesses???

hey before you spend money on a relay, check the ground and hot wires...not the ones on the battery, the ones that end at the starter, and the frame. then, i would check the terminals on the back of the fuse panel. i had a problem where my bike would die in the middle of riding. turns out, a terminal to the fuel pump relay on the back of the fuse panel wasnt seated causing the relay to lose voltage
