Hey everyone,
A good friend of mine is having issues with his 2008 Raptor. It's been happening randomly (not every ride) for a couple of weeks.. What happens is that he will be riding and all of a sudden the lights start to dim and the check engine light comes on (full on, not flashing at all) and then the bike dies. When it happens, he can't start the bike back up, like the battery is dead but it can be started on compression and then it usually won't run well at all, won't keep it's idle, etc.
Since having the problem the first time he has changed his stator and his battery but the problem is still there.. Some days it will run fine and on others at some point it will just die like that and not cooperate. Again, the battery is dead after this deal.
He has no extra accessories on the bike other than a KOSO speedometer and he also has the 5th speed mod and a Dynatek fuel controller (not the revbox, the actual fuel controller).
Any idea what it could be before he rips the whole bike apart and inspects everything electrical?
