rocket no power no start.

[Bigrock2.3]

Hoping someone can help. I go for a ride, no problems. I stop for fuel, I fill up, I go to start it and nothing ,no head lights no movement on the gauges nuthin. I start checking fuses relays the usual stuff, nuthin. Walk away to phone for a lift, come back after 20 mins or so and the blood thing starts, no problem. It has done this twice now in a day. No start no lights, no fuel pump, no gauges. Walk away,and leave it to itself for half an hour and its fine.WTF?

Very likely; failing soldered connections under Ignition switch

Could well be, You'll need to take the ignition barrel off open it underneath to check. Look up Eastern Beaver mod to prevent it happening again ( a rerouting of headlight power)

P.S.The easy test to check if a bike is at risk of ignition switch failure( from heat) is to hold the wiring to the barrel whilst the bike has been running for a bit. Does it get too hot to hold? if so then you need to modify. With the Beaver relay kit, the wiring doesn't get hot.
