Hey all, looking for some insight to a problem I am having on my 1959 R50. I have only had the bike for a month, and have been resolving some issues, e.g. timing and points, but took it on a long ride over the weekend, during witch everything was going fine for the first 30 min, then the electric failed...no lights or horn, no indicator lights, nothing. After letting it sit for 15 min, went back, put in the key, and violla! indicator lights working! Started it up, all good. Then electric failed again. Now I have electric when cold, but as soon as the bike warms up, electric is gone. Any similar experiences or best ideas on how to isolate? I have all the shop/repair/restore books, but can't find anything similar in troubleshooting so not sure where to start. Appreciate any help that is here!!
