Anyone have a clue as to why a 2001 SXR electrical system would just go haywire?
Sled was running perfectly and all of a sudden it wouldn't go above 3500 RPM. Tachometer started working sporadically along with the fuel guage and the temp. light. It will only start up for a bit, then die and have no spark at all for about a half an hour. Go back to it later and it will fire up on three pulls with full choke and shut right back down and have no spark again.

Check the harness that runs under the motor....if the harness is fine, maybe you have a bad CDI....that controls everything.

The best that I could see.
make sure you un hook the harness that goes to the hood and pull the harness back form under the motor, that usually were I have found it rubbed thru.

I checked for all possible wire problems and have found none. I also disconnected the TORS wire and plugged them together from the throttle end. Still, the motor will fire and die then have no spark for a period of time.
