So I was on my way to ride my bike to some Army training in Arizona, and about 10 miles down the highway my XB cuts out. It did this quite a bit earlier, and I rode it for several days with no problems before leaving. Thought the problem was fixed. I have a remote alarm, and the antenna is near the BAS. I read on BADWEB that a dying-with-no-warning issue is likely the BAS. Could the antenna be interfering with it while it is running, or maybe just have a freaky-deeky BAS? Thanks for the help. | ||

Disable it with ECMSpy and that will tell you if its the BAS or not. Check your battery connections too. (Message edited by terrys1980 on February 19, 2011) | ||

My 2008 XB12X cut out at about 1000 miles as if it was the BAS. I cycled the kill switch on the bars and it started right back up before I had coasted down to 45 on the highway. It never did it again after that.30,000 miles so far. I can only theorize that it was some grounding issue that was accidentally fixed when performing routine maintenance or something. I can only suggest poking at every ground you can find. These computer-operated bikes are very sensitive to bad grounds. | ||

The first thing I would check is your alarm system. | ||

Well, I have done everything so far including inspecting every bit of wire I could see. Cleaned every contact I could. Dielectric grease on everything that made sense. New battery, making good contact and tight. I might try to disable the alarm and the BAS and see if anything bad happens. At least all I have to do is remove the fuse... | ||

Migs, the BAS, or Bank Angle Sensor, or sometimes called the Tipover Sensor, is a safety device that shuts the engine off in the event that the bike crashes or falls over. Being a mechanical device, they can occasionally fail, and when they do it can cause the bike to randomly stall. | ||

BAS looks clean. I'm gonna disable it. It looks like there is a lot of slop room in there for the rotating part to just get stuck. That would also explain why sometimes it will restart right away, and other times it takes like ten minutes. I probably just have to move the bike to get it un-stuck. Here's hoping this works.   |
