Motorcycle Repair: Short reoccuring electricity drops while driving, short moment, temperture


Question
Hi there,

I'm the happy owner of a Sportster 1200C, 1999, low milage of 5000 miles. While driving it suffers short reoccuring electricity drops. Starts with the speedo indicator going on zero a few seconds later the engine dies for a short moment (1 sec) then it's back to normal. This happens once or twice a minute and only when engine is at normal working temperture. Drops happens at any rpm's,r speed or gear.
It's stored away 7-8 months a year. Is only taken out for the occational spin during summer.
Where do I start my trouble shooting?
Thanks in advance for giving me this opportunity to ask the expert.

Answer
I would start by checking the wiring at the battery, then follow the hot wires and test and check each wire. The problem is its going ot be hard to find a short if its not shorted when you start looking. Check the circiut breakers also. You will just have to keep following the power till you find it.
Good luck and happy riding
Mike
