Electrical Weirdness
2011 96 SG, 11k
So, went out to dinner on Saturday night. Rode to the local 5-star Cracker Barrel and everything was just fine.
Came out, hopped on and down the road we went. I glanced at the Speedo and it was dead. All of the other gauges were fine. Pulled in the clutch and the bike died. Hit the starter button and it fired right up and idles fine. Made a turn and the turn signals would not cancel on their own. Then I tried cruise control and it was also not working. Needless to say, I was getting agitated.
To recap: No speedo, dies when the clutch is pulled in after cruising, turn signals won't self cancel, no cruise, idles fine when re-started....
Went home, disconnected the ECM and the battery. Checked every fuse and relay I could find, all good. Let it sit for 30 minutes and then hooked everything back up. Everything is working fine now. WTF?
Anybody have an idea on this?
Later,
Seth

Take out and clean your Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS).
