Hi all,
Today while waiting at red light, within 6 seconds my bike "died", seems like electrical problem or the battery because the speedo-dash did the "reset check" like when you first insert the key in the ignition (the rpm needle would go to 0 then bounce back to 16k rpm then back to 0). It did all this while the motor was still on. Then the motor would shut off.
I restarted the bike right away because I was in the middle of traffic. Then I tried to ride the bike back home so I can check it out, but within 1 mile when I stopped at another stop light, the same thing happened. Then I pushed the bike to a gas station trying to restart it, but the bike seems like there is no battery even to show the dash display.
So I waited about 3 minutes under the shade and the bike cranked up again. I rode home (17 miles) no trouble. Then I tried to replicate the problem, but cant.
Could it be my 4 yr old battery because I had my highbeam on and the bike was idling at redlight and the alternator cant power the bike?
Is it even possible for the bike to shut off while it was idling?
Engine temp around 170 F
2006 Gixxer 600 8800 miles
Bike sat in the sun for 5 hrs
90 degrees
Battery 4 years old
No FI light
Had my high beam on with low beam
Bike was idling normal
Thanks for the read and possible help!!
