I'm in the Freedom Ride in NYC today we get stuck in Battery Tunnel then in traffic bike was getting hot going into limp mode and the horn was starting to sound muted I thought it shorted out and Id have to relplace it? Let bike cool off and engine rest for about 20ms then on the way to the NJ Turnpike bike was running better and the horn went back to normal sound, never had this horn thing happen I thought It was me guy next to me had the same problem well ILMAO !! Funny but true anyone had this ??? Bill

Iv'e had the same problem. When you idle for a long period the battery is drained especially if you have spot lights on and hold the brake alot. The horn doesn't like low voltage.
