When that happens the first thing you should do is to check your battery wire connections to make sure they are still tight. And don't forget to also check your "kill" switch to be sure that it wasn't accidentally turned off when you were reaching for the heated grip switch. I had my bike shut down when I did that while I was riding along on the freeway and my bike completely shut down at 70 mph.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #2 Thanks for the sage words of advice Richard,my in laws have picked Mrs Bravo up and taken her home,she's coming back in her car(I hope) and we'll wait for the repair man in the pub. It's times like there I wish I still smoked,a lighter would've been handy now. You gotta tear it up shake it up break it out Baby! |

Zitat von Bravo im Beitrag #3Hope it's close by - will they let you do that? I once broke down out in the sticks (no phone signal) and had to hitch a lift to the nearest pub several miles away to make the call. RAC refused point blank to collect me from there (insurance, innit) and insisted I returned to the bike. Had to walk all the way back and then sat there in the pitch dark for an hour and a half until they finally showed up. Zitat von Bravo im Beitrag #3?? Why - do you want to torch the bike or something?

Had to walk all the way back and then sat there in the pitch dark for an hour and a half until they finally showed up. The RAC man was no doubt "Only following orders". We never managed to get to the pub,by the time Mrs Bravo returned the rescue man had turned up. The bike is safely in the garage at Chez Bravo. It's off to Norwich on Tuesday for the technical wizards to work their magic upon it. And the answer to your question is yes.

Bravo, Tea and donuts can never be good. Perhaps the thought of the extra weight on the return journey was enough for the luvly lupin to cry enough! |

Can this happen with a loss of 'keyless fob signal' ie do we get a warning like the cars or does it shut down from a signal loss. |

Zitat von Duds im Beitrag #12 Wise words indeed Duds. I'll let the boffins at Lind Motorrad sort it out. I'm away early doors and won't be back til Friday so it'll not be missed. Besides I pay the extended warranty so I don't have to get my hands dirty
