I drove 130 miles Saturday morning at speeds of about 75. That afternoon I drove back home at about 85. The 2013 Breakout performed flawlessly.
Yesterday I backed it out of the garage and cleaned it up. I didn't use any water. I just detailed it a bit with some spray-on cleaner wax and micro fiber cloths.

I decide to start it up to pull it back into the garage. It started right up then died, again and again. If I give it gas it runs but the minute I let go of the throttle it stops running. It also seems to be running just a little rough. When I put it away on Saturday it was running perfectly.
Any ideas???

 

First thing is the obvious: It was running flawless until you wiped it down.

 

Dumb question, but hows the fuel?

 

Tampa Fatboy: Good point! ;-)

Rigid thumper: 110 miles left before reserve.

 

Bump!

 

Fuel-air-electrical. One of these.

Is the tank low on gas ?
On my 12 deluxe there was a gas issue when i first bought it. I ran the gas low in the tank (not enough to make the gas light come on ) and the bike stop running. Dealer said they have to adjust the sending unit.

 

Plenty of fuel.

I put the trickle charger on it yesterday. I had an appointment to get the clutch adjusted so I called the dealer about the other problem. When I got home from work, I got the bike out, hit the starter and it started right up.
i rode it to the dealer. It ran flawlessly. They adjusted the clutch and checked the charging system. Everything was fine so in all likelihood I'll need to purchase a battery.
It's amazing how a weak battery can affect so many things. i'm relieced that it wasn't anything major.

 

Clean and tighten battery cables/and/or replace battery. Go from there.

 

What is your battery voltage? What does it drop to when you hit the starter? What is the voltage when the revs are held at 3K? Time to get the meter out and diagnose your battery and charging system!

 

Terminals are clean & tight. Dealers checked charging system and everything is up to spec so a new battery is going to be my next purchase.

Thanks for the help!
