Hi... I'm wondering if someone can shoot me some ideas... I've had some electronic issues with my bike for the past year! I have a 94 CBR 900RR for about five years. It was bought with about 4000 miles on it and has over 20k now. Last year, Sat. night of Motorcycle weekend, she died on me in front of the Weirs sign - not cool! Bad spot.... anyway - ended up replacing the rectifier unit and she seemed good as new. Couple of days ago, after about an hour ride on a previous day, I went to start her and nothing... lights on - bright as ever, but only clicking. Mechanic told me (over the phone) that it might be the battery and to charge which I was doing. Bike started right up after the charge. I was out riding on Sat. in Manch-Vegas and was stuck in some Memorial day traffic when she started to fade on me. Had to keep her running at high rpms while stopped in traffic and when i got home and turned it off then on again... nothing... but the lights are fine... which leads me to believe it isn't the battery? I changed at 12v for about an hour and all seems fine - but when on another hour ride today - I could feel the hesitation. Bike starts when I turn off and on again... so the only thing I see that is causing issues is when she gets hot... sitting in traffic. Sorry for the long message... but does anyone have any ideas of what this might be? I think the alternator... would like to go to the mechanic with something that sounds like I know what I'm talking about. I love to ride, but am not a mechanic... so any input would be incredibly helpful.... thanks in advance!!!
