Why bike is getting off frequently?
* Blocked fuel line/filter. If your bike has sit for a long time, or you’ve not had the fuel tank cleaned, you may have pulled gunk into the fuel filter and clogged it, and it’s time to change out the filter. Or, your fuel line is clogged. Old bikes that have sit around often get this problem.
What happens when your bike shuts off while riding?
It does NOT lose electrical when this happens so it is NOT the main circuit breaker which has been updated. Temperature of bike doesn’t seem to make difference and neither does fuel level. Two or three times it has shut off long enough for me to coast to side of road and re-start WITHOUT cycling run/off switch–I just hit start.
What to do if your bike dies at a red light?
I wobble the bike to the median/sidewalk since it doesn’t restart back up like the other times. turn the key a couple times and then the thing lights up again, and starts back up. About 1/4 mile from that spot, filtering down to another red light in traffic and dies completely again. Wobble off to the side.
What does it mean when your electric bike stops working?
After I stopped for a minute, the bike seemed to be working normally again, but about a mile later on a very slight uphill that would not normally strain the battery at all , there was a small jolt and then no motor or power or anything. I stopped and turning the throttle got no response at all. The bike seemed totally dead.

After I safely made a complete stop I was able to fire her back up no problem. Finishing running an errand and while accelerating up to ~35 it dies for about 2 secs and regains power. After taking a left and upon decelerating at a light dies out completely again. Luckily I was able to make it home in time..

Took a little more for it to start that time but normally starts right up. Runs and starts awesome the rest of time. I have thrown a crank sensor at it to try and fix problem.
Why does my bike start when I turn it off?
Unscrew the ignition module from the bracket and wiggle the wires when the bike is on. If you duplicate the issue, that’s it. That could also be why it starts sometimes and not others. Bc you’re turning the key on and off and it’s “hitting” right or wrong.
What causes a V-twin bike to shut off while riding?
Intermittent cutting out. Turns out it WAS the cylinder head temp sensor. This issue lasted almost a year without throwing a code a drove me nuts. It kills the bike by falsely telling the ECM the bike is too hot, which in turn then shuts the bike down.
