van van powering off

[franky Van Van]

wholly hell!

so the bike pwered on after it seemed like the fuse20 was not all the way in? 

it powered on! then i rev it up a bit to get it going as i let it idle down, it stalls and then completely powers off - and wont power back on when i try. 

 

i left the key in turned to on for a bit after it stalled and then powered off and all of a sudden i heard something under the seat and the power lights came on and when i went to start the bike it powered off. gonzo again

i have checked the fuse, both still okay although i think one is a spare. 

i bought a multimeter and a battery charger but i dont think its the battery based on its behavior - i have to buy a 9volt battery for the multimeter to work, damit - 

its characteristic is like a loose wire or something ?? frick! since its intermittent like that. 

any clue?

 

spark plug change next

 

i gotta fix it myself

 

no shops around living remotely

 

i went through the whole manual.

its power/electrical  related - its behavior is so specific should be an easy fix. no?

 

lol

Sounds like a bad connection. Most often it's the earth strap. Clean and check the battery connections.
