I have a really strange problem... I bought a pretty trashed 2005 CBR600rr and had to replace a number of things on it thus far to make it road worthy. It is finally ride-able and looks pretty good but sometimes has this issue:
I can be cruising or going fast and occasionally it seems like the charging system just stops working because the bike starts studering, break light dims, the gauge cluster turns off and the bike just dies after a bit of a strugle and misfiring (as it is draining the last bits of energy from the battery).
I can park the bike, turn it off and on, push start it and everything returns to normal, the charging system is once again charging the battery and I can even stop the bike in say 5 min and start it normally using the starter.
At first I thought it was the voltage regulator, but it does not happen due to any heat or any bumper to bumper traffic.
I even clipped, cleaned and re-clipped every single connector I could find on the bike, and made sure the main ground point by the relay switches on the left was tight as well as the battery terminals.
What do you guys think is wrong?
