You have been asked if the entire electrical or part of the electrical system goes dead when the bike quits running.

Put some effort into your answers, people cannot read your mind.

Dan, we might become besties.


wasn't there an issue with main breaker around then? I thought safety recall. I know my 07 has big fuse. But didn't they have breakers at one time?

of course all electrical would go dead, lights, ect.


Check your vin for safety recall maybe

I thought I explained what's going on very direct to the issue, so I don't understand what you are talking about
