Consistent and inconsistently bike shutting off

[Laitch]

I know it's been a very long time since I visited this post, but I just wanted to submit the resolution: The inside of the FI Relay female center prong terminal was burnt out and making little/no connection.

Thanks for the followup! It helps show working solutions to others. Good riding!

 :2thumbup: :2thumbup: GREAT!  Over the last month, I had been wondering, and fearing that you had given up in frustration.  I did feel a little guilty since I steered you towards the bike to begin with :yes .  Suffice it to say that I have worked on many mechanical problems over the years...all I can say is PATIENCE AND PERSISTENCE  usually carry the day!

That is great news!  Thanks for letting us know how you corrected the problem.  I hope you enjoy the trip to Colorado.  Lots of really nice riding out there. 

Lots of satisfaction in finding the cause of a problem and fixing it.  I hope you are enjoying the feeling of success.  :2thumbup:

Who would have thunk the blasted relay was bad?  I thought you swapped some relays around and they all worked.  Anyway, good job on getting it going.  With the trailer connector, the "destined to fail" 4 pin connector has been taken from the equation.

Relays were mentioned half-way up the thread.

That's just the thing though alll relays were pristine and worked when I subbed them around, the only way I was able to tell the center prong insert was the problem was shining a light in the insert seeing a minor bit of soot and then completely dismantling the base, wasn't easy to fine it took a really long time, not much evidence to suggest
