Author Message   Purplemax Posted on Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - 11:44 am:        Good morning! My xb as decide to be funny this morning. After a quick coffee stop, the bike wouldnt start. It started this morning like my battery was dying, and didnt restart after. Try to jump start, but nothing change. The selenoid clicks, but the engine dosent crank. I pushed the dam thing and started it on compression. after 5 minutes, my dashboard went almost completely dead (no speedo, no rpm, no little hour/odo). The bike kept running, but once i stoped it after 15 minutes, it went back to the not starting point. My check engine light as been going on and off for the past two weeks, and i lost the high beam this weekend. A few weeks ago, my battery poles were loosen, and it happend again a week ago! So this morning, i checked that first, and it wasent the issue! It also start "flatlining" beetween 4000 and 4500 rpm... dunno if it's related or not! Any ideas or suggestion?
