Topic: Electrical issue with my cl350

[bigragu]

Bike runs well for about 10 mins then dies, almost seems like something in the wiring harness is getting to hot and shorting out. Could it be the on/off switch?

Do you still have spark when it shuts down ?

No, I;m wondering if it was due to weak battery

    The electric systems always have corrosion around the ground connections on the frame;check the ground connection(bare metal to bare metal) around where the coils mount to the frame & make sure the metal is shiny & around where the battery box mounts to the frame & where the rectifier mounts to the battery box,etc.
The electrics are the weakest system so they need the most maintenance; I think if you took a bit of time to clean ALL the connections & coat them w/ dielectric grease, you will have a solid system that you can build from.

Thanks for the tip. Looks like me black and white wire from the kill switch was the problem in the headlight it was cutting out for some strange reason?

I know what you mean about those headlight connections & how they can get loose
in the female plugs;I,m always as careful as possible when I try lightly squeezing them with pliers...oops,there goes another one. Glad you found the problem !
