Just got it firing!
New owner of 2001 MG Jackal
I put a couple thousand miles on it without issue....bike ran flawlessly. Rain and cold weather here in the NW have now apparently bit the electrical side of the bike. It suddenly died 100 yards from the garage on return to home few days ago. Everything dead......turn of key shows no lights of any kind.
Cleaned and checked fuses and relays. Fuses all looked good.....some minor corrosion......turned the key and everything back working again. Fired it up and it lasted about two seconds before it died again and everything dead again. I had just replaced the battery so it's possible something is somehow related to that change. Noticed on one of the posts the possibility of a faulty kill switch and will check that.
Any ideas to what next? Brett
