Last year on a hot day and after a brief stop, I tried to start her up and all I heard was a dull "click" and the entire electric circuit cut out for a second or so (clock reset, no lights, etc.). All came back within about 2 seconds. Waited a few minutes, tried again, same thing. Tried a few more times until she finally started up again. At that time, I thought I had the problem traced to a somewhat loose battery connection and tightened everything and added some spring washers.
Today I'm riding and again, it was warm. After a Dunkin' coffee stop, it happened again... starter - "click" - momentary loss of entire power circuit, then start on the second attempt. Always seems to happen when the ambient temps are in the 80s or higher. Battery is barely a year old, I've tested it and it checks out fine. Starter is strong every time.
Any suggestions at all? Thanks. Moe
