KDCOffical Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 Hi all, New to the forum, thanks in advance! So a bit of a long one. I had an attempted theft on my motorcycle the other night, the ignition barrel had been pushed in with a screwdriver and the wires to the ignition barrel had been cut. So my solution for this was to replace the fuse they blew and wire up a lamp switch for a keyless ignition (the bike has no immobiliser). This all worked, I took it to the petrol station and back home without any issues. The morning after I set off for work within about 20 minutes, I noticed my headlight flickering so I made a mental note and carried on, after another 10 minutes the bike stalled out and when I tried to turn it on and off there was nothing, I had my voltage tester and tools in case this happened. So I set out to start working on it and to find the cause of the issue, first I checked the fuse, and it was fine, second I tested my main wires to the switch they were still carrying voltage, I then tested the switch for continuity and that was also fine, so I am struggling to find a cause for all of this as nothing blew, nothing overheated and everything is working so as I am not massively clued up in electrics, I was wondering if anyone could give me any ideas of what to try and do next and to stop it cutting out every 30 mins. Thank you, if any extra information is needed, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 So voltage is definitely getting through the switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDCOffical Posted November 6 Author Share Posted November 6 Yes, I have tested this multiple times to make sure and make sure again. I have tested the stator and regulator and they are both acting as normal and charging the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 If it has an ems then it could be that the switch contacts have a high resistance causing the ems to shut down the ignition. Have you got a spark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catteeclan Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 Long shot but I've had a fuse break contact when warm. Easy thing to rule out. When it stops do you lose everything, headlight, dash lights etc? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
