Author Message   Ft_bstrd Posted on Sunday, July 31, 2011 - 07:32 pm:        I went to pass a couple of cars and ran the RPMs up to near the rev limiter. All of the sudden it went dead. Gauges dead. Tach dead. It just went dead. I coasted down from my attained speed and it came back to life, backfired and relit. Never happened before. Where should I start looking? Key switch? Ignition coil? Main harness? Stator? Thanks   Weatherbyman Posted on Sunday, July 31, 2011 - 07:41 pm:        Key switch, check run/stop wiring and relays   01x1buell Posted on Sunday, July 31, 2011 - 07:54 pm:        my relays gave me some problems now and then so i put dielectric grease in the connecters and nave not had any issues( probebly not the same thing as you jeremy   99_x1 Posted on Sunday, July 31, 2011 - 09:16 pm:        FI or carb? Can you get it to do it again? Weren't some of these bikes subject to main power relay failure, or connection issues?   01x1buell Posted on Sunday, July 31, 2011 - 09:23 pm:        mine as my name says is FI   Ft_bstrd Posted on Sunday, July 31, 2011 - 09:43 pm:        It's Carb on mine. 00 M2.   No_rice Posted on Sunday, July 31, 2011 - 09:54 pm:        id check switch contacts, does that year have a kickstand switch?   Ft_bstrd Posted on Sunday, July 31, 2011 - 10:01 pm:        Yep.   Reepicheep Posted on Monday, August 01, 2011 - 09:58 am:        I'd check the ground strap as well.   Andymnelson Posted on Monday, August 01, 2011 - 11:24 am:        I'd tear apart the ignition switch. They are know to overheat and melt. Eventually they just stop working. If no damage has been done from the heat yet, then clean it up real good and re-grease with some dielectric.   Weatherbyman Posted on Monday, August 01, 2011 - 01:59 pm:        Totally agree with Andymnelson.... I replaced 4 in 9 years and had enough so I built a HIGH-AMP cross over and eliminated my ignition switch 100% - went to a http://www.digitalguarddawg.com now I have totally ELIMINATED those issues and better yet... NO KEY!

Same thing happened to me on my old S3 and it was the kick stand switch. Remove it!
