do you know if it has had all the updates done to it? might be the wire rubbing on the rivet thing, mag side on the bulkhead. another thing to check is the tail light bulb....I know it sounds crazy but the bulb broke in my tail light and the filament mounts touched each other or the bulb's metal housing. sled acted goofy with the electrical for a half day and then just died on the trail. only thing I could find was the broken bulb, changed it and it ran fine. that was 2 years ago.

Thanks for all the Info .. I think it's a plug back behind the chaincase . Talked to the guy that sold me it .. And recommended checking that as it has happened before
