    Ok..... weirdest thing happenned to me today. Bike was running good all day pulling hard and riding nice. Came up to a left turn lane and it started bogging down. Then the idle kept wanting to drop + stall out.pulled out and it felt a bit bogged down. Came to a stop sign and it quit +I cranked until the battery was starting to die... 5 minutes later it fired right up on the first touch like nothing was wrong. Seemed fine the rest of the way.... maybe a touch bogged down... any ideas

    A few thoughts its easiest to go from the easiest to hardest. If it does it again pop the gas cap for a sec. Just in case vapor lock. Put the gas on prime for a few sec. When the tci starts going bad it will do that when it cools it starts back up. Also could be a loose connection/ broken wire. Which can be a major hassle chasing down. Keep a good spark plug somewhere on the bike when /if it does it again check for spark with the plug. I have a feeling it is the tci but don't quote me on it. If you can find a good cheap one pick it up before hacking into the wires
