Hoping someone can suggest something I've missed. Love this bike and it really runs great, when it runs. Not a great pic of my bike but all I could find today
Starts up on first bump of starter and runs strong...for a little while
Stop for a light or make a low speed turn, it dies and won't start up again (usually happens on deceleration and usually backfires)
Let it sit 30 mins - hour and it's all systems go again...for a little while
Repeat above steps
Replaced:
battery (new)
plugs (new)
pick-up coils (new)
plug wires (new)
ignition coils (used)
CDI (used)
Also bypassed kill switch on bar
