I have a 1980 CB125s with about 600 miles on it. It's the first year that it's really been ridden - it spent most of its life in a showroom.
It had been running great all season up until last week when it stopped idling all of a sudden. Brought it into the shop for a very expensive weekend and they eventually told me it was a condenser which they replaced. I rode it about ten miles. This morning, when I turned the key there was no power. After some rather lame jiggling of wires near the battery, I tried the key again and it was fine. Started on the first kick, ran great, everything as usual.
About 2 miles later, I hit a pothole and it just died. No electrical whatsoever.
I checked what visible wires I could see but everything is in such great condition that I can't believe it's a short, but of course you never know with a 35-year old bike.
My gut says it's a loose connector since it happened after a big bump, but I don't know very much about electrical systems. Does anyone have any ideas where I should start to troubleshoot this problem?
