Talking 2001 883 Break down
My Bike crapped out on me about twenty miles into my ride. I was told over and over to but an ignition modual. I bought it, put it in, rode it, and broke down again. What now anyone? I would appreciate the help.

"broke down" is a pretty vague term. It could mean anything from "ran out of gas" to "I have a rod hanging out of the side of my case". More detail will definitely be needed for anyone can give useful advice.

+1 Be descriptive. Symptoms, situation, bike condition/age.
