Sudden loss power out of nowhere while riding.....left me stranded for 2 hours till 2 oclock in the mornin....this is going to be an intresting week

 

sounds like a rectifier problem same thing happend to my friends gsxr check the connections to it from the stator and to the bike they might be melted or burned a little if so then you know the problem fun part is figureing out why, start checkin grounds and fuses and wires in general, check voltage comeing out of the stator, have the battery checked at a local shop make sure it is up to par and wasnt damaged, hopefully it didnt melt the main harness that would suck. if everything checks out ok then its prob just a blown rectifier, hope you can get it figured out.

 

thanks man.....i replaced the rectifier like not even a month ago....and my connector was melted to **** so i just hardwired the harness to the rectifier itself. funnything is that was the first thing i check when i pulled over and myrectifier wasnt even hot

 

A little more information on what bike you have would help a bit.

 

i have a 1992 F2

i tore it up today...thinking its a fuel or carb problem

 

Describe the sensation of the loss of power. Was it like running out of fuel, or like someone killed the ignition with the key ?

 

well the best descriptioni can give is when i was riding...it puttered intermitenly for a bit....(this is how i knew i was going down) so i tried revving it up so i can get more speed.....and then i pulled my throttle back...nothing happened.then it took me forever just to get it running again....it happend about 4 times in about 4 miles. could be a fuel,carb,or spark...i just dont know .....i torn it apart yesterday to see it it was something obvius...screwed around with it all day..went to ride it around the block and same thing...so im just going to have my bike tech work on it.

 

Did you have any problems getting it to turn over when you were trying to start it ? Any symptoms like a dead or weak battery ?

 

nope. my starter will turn...all my electrical is good. infact the first thing i did was take my fender off and check my rectifier ( because i recently installed a new one and i wanted to check my connections )....rectifier wasnt even hot yet.this is how i know its either a fuel or carb problem.....and if its a carb problem, then its beyond my relm, becasue im a car/EFI guy.....i dont understand/know anything about carbs...but nonetheless my bike tech came to pick it up this morning, so after he troubleshoots it ill keep you updated

 

welp....turns out im loosing spark some how. tech is still working on it. still boggles my mind that my bike was running fine for months then out of nowere BAM!!! tkaes a **** on my face
