MY bike died on me today, I started it up and it run for a few seconds then bang dead. So took the seat of and noticed the cables of the positive terminal had fell of ( probably my fault ). I hooked the cables back on and saw the ehc
flicker a few times then it went dead. The hole bike is now dead not a single light working and no lights on the ehc.

Had a friend look at it whom is a elictric tech and he said their was power and ground to the ehc Power harness connector but he couldn´t read any power coming out from it.

This makes me think it is the EHC that took a huge dump on the day before I was supossed to get the bike registered :bang::bang::angry:

So what do you guys think, is there anything else that could cause this??


Thanks >Jimmy

Could very well be. Make sure your negative terminals are fully grounded. Do any lights or anything work? Does your horn work?

Thanx guys for your ideas but I can read with multimeter that I have ground
coming into ehc power conector and i had the ehc disconected for sever minutes when we did the fault search.

Bruce. Do you mean the ehc have seperate cables other than the 2 harnes conectors and the pc link conector?

Five Five. I´m thinking there must have been some sparkes and arcing at the battery when cables came loose, and knowing the ehc is a sensetivep Piece
of crap it might not like those??


Thanx > Jimmy

Seems I have to replace the EHC. I´m thinking of going with the PDM
unless someone can tell me were to find a new EHC.

So does anyone know were to find one?

Sounds like your ready to pull the trigger for an upgrade...I think PDM & WP kits are on back order so it might be awhile .... I had the same problem with my battery connection ...smoked the battery and melted the lead post down the side of the battery, I cleaned everything up verified all good connections and the EHC worked... I suggest starting another post if your looking to buy another EHC ... I believe many members have done the upgrade and still have there EHC's on the shelf in the garage somewhere.

Good Luck

Bud i am only a newbie, but i have been having simular problems. I found on one occassion the battery was not fully charged, another time it was a ground wire touching from and indicator.
These are the things i would check first
