Hey Twins Fans,
I have a mystery with my '93 CB250, and before I start tearing things apart I thought I would see if anyone here has seen this before.
On a few occasions now when I have been out on the bike and after making a stop (either for a while or short time) when I have jumped back on and hit the start button I get nothing - not a missed start, not clicking, not half hearted turn over: nothing. All lights (headlamp and dash go off) and the bike is dead.
First time of course I assumed a fuse or something, but the strange thing that occurs is when I get the bike started (thank god for light bikes and gentle slopes right?) after a bit of twinkling on the dash lights the thing is totally back to normal AND the next time I get on the bike I hit the button and go like every other time.
This has happened three times now (to the point that I never stop the bike at the bottom of hill any more) and it is so odd.
My only thoughts are a loose ground or a slowly dying solenoid - but you would think such things would either work or not work right?
So, before I tear apart my electrical system and start replacing things at random - Anyone had an experience like this before?
