My 06 Ridgeback quits while riding and is hard to start sometimes

[Briancopper]

Hello everyone I am new to the forum. I have a 06 Ridgeback that is giving me hell. The bike started cutting out running down the highway and then it can be hard to start. I know it is related to the ignition module. When the bike acts up the ignition module does not have the red light on and the 2 lights that flash with the spark I'm guessing won't flash. The EHC does however retain the red power light at all times. Any help will be greatly appriciated. I am new to the bike scene and am learning to ride on this bike I don't need it to keep stalling out on me.

I had the same problems a couple of weeks ago. It ended up being a loose battery terminal bolt. Tightened it up and runs and starts perfectly.

Yup! start on the easy/common sense stuff first.... ALL CONTACTS: CLEAN & TIGHT!!!

And, do an INTRO too when you have 2 secs.

Check your regulator plug for damage......it's right next to the oil filter in the front....

You should also loosen the Gas cap when it starts cutting out on you. Don't take it off unless you like a gasoline bath just lose about a half turn or so. If it goes away then you know you have a venting problem at the gas tank and you should replace the Cap or gut it out which I don't recommend.
