I just got the rectifier recall done this past weekend. I have been experiencing problems before and even after the new one was installed. If I run into traffic or I'm riding around hitting a lot of stop lights, my bike cuts out on me even while I'm riding in gear. After I got the recall done, I rode down a route rather than the highway to get my bike heated up a little bit. After success with no issues, I rode through the city of Fredericksburg, VA to hit a bunch of stops to get my bike heated up even more. As I was about to turn to head home, it cut out on me. :banghead: I ended up sitting around for 45 mins to wait for my bike to cool down before it started back up. After the bike cut out, I tried starting it again and it wouldn't turn over. Does anyone have any idea what it could be? I have researched around on the same issue and it seems like there could be a lot of possibilities to include, but not limited to, fuel pump connection/going bad, bad throttle position sensor, tilt sensor, stator, clogged return line and starter relay. I really don't want to have to pay someone a lot of money to do a bunch of tests and etc. If you have any suggestions, please post! Thanks!

Well, is the fan kicking in ? Is the bike running normal temp or getting hotter than normal ? If the bike is actually operating normal and then cutting out it could be electrical and it could be anything.

Just cranks and runs fine once it cools right ?

I've got a fan switch that I manually turn on every time I ride. I never see the temperature gauge get higher than the midway point.

It cranks up fine once it has cooled down...

Why the fan switch ?

The guy I bought the bike from put it on there. Not too sure why he did, maybe to be able to keep the fan going while riding rather than waiting until the bike gets too hot before the fan comes on..?
