periodic starting problem
Hello all.
Yesterday I had rode all morning without a hitch, got home and the bike sat for 5 hrs or so.
I wnt to go out again and it started for a split second and then shut down. After that I had no response, the moter turned and turned but nothing. I believe it to be no spark so I seached high and low for a bad ground wire some where but could come up with nothing.
I pushed it into the garage pissed off and just for the hell of it i tried to start it again................................Started right up!
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? the bike is a 96' FXSTS never had any problems ever with this bike and i have had it for 8 yrs and its always beed kept up proffesionally
Thank you
