Hi, newbie on site (very good)- have a serious issue with my XVS 1300:(7,000 miles)

Bike runs fine when standing - upto 1 hour - no issues - but when taken out for a run at 23 miles starts to degrade in running then at 30 miles cuts out and then will not run but will turn over and start running for a few seconds then cuts out (recommend do not try to push bike for 1.5 miles - very tiring!!).

Solution so far - has been on a Dyno road - runs perfect - new plugs, air filter all checks out.

NO lights on the speedo re the ECU no fault codes.

The bike is an import from the states - hence if any parts needed you have to order them from the states.

The mechanic thinks it might be the ECU !!!

Any advice thoughts would be much appreciated..

Hey Bubble

I ride a '97 XV535. I am sure that there are a lot of differences between our bikes due to engine size and yr of manufacture but I have been having similar problems for the last 2 months. The bike runs great at times and at other times runs very poorly. The engine also cuts out when comming to a stop every on an infrequent basis. The technicians have taken the carb apart 5 times and now are focusing on the transistor control ignition system which is prpbably the ECU on your bike. Based on the problems that I am having, which are similar to yours, I would say that the problem is the ECU and not the carbs.

I hope your mechanic comes up with a solution.
