Member Contributer Dan Posted July 3, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted July 3, 2008 Tonight, while running at a steady 70 mph in 6th gear, revs at around 5K, I began feeling the engine pulse. At first it was very, very slight. I almost though it was the road. I road a few more miles, stopped for gas and took off again. Upon commencing my travels I began feeling the pulsing even worse. At that point I aborted my trip and turned around to head home. As I turned around and went to switch on my hi-beam the headlight went dark for a second and then the hi-beam came back on. This same thing happened a couple of times more over the next 10 miles. Then, the problem seemed to go away. Does this sound like a weak battery or something more serious? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Best, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Dan Posted July 4, 2008 Author Member Contributer Share Posted July 4, 2008 My 98 had the hi beam problem just before the R/R failed Did anything else happen before the R&R failed? When the R&R failed did the bike just stop operating? I'm hoping that this is not my problem Will an "EKG" test at the dealer reveal this? The odd thing is that the problem did not seem to show itself when I rode it yesterday. I am wondering if the lower temps that I was riding in the night before have anything to do with it.
