Was the battery given a full charge before you started using it?
When the hazards are going e.t.c. have you tried starting the motor?

Insert title here...
Did you try the standard stuff i.e.,check the battery connections, make sure it's getting charged when the bike is running, etc....?

Ok so just an update. ..I think the ignition problem was due to a faulty battery. .

Finally sorted that and it was still cutting out while riding..
Hit run and it would kick into life.

So I stripped tank and everything off and went over all the wiring and found the ignition wires under tank had been rubbing..

Finally after blaming the ehc, , ignition module etc etc it was due to a crappy connection. .

Just thought I'd share that in case someone else has this problem
