Bike dies/won't start. Electrical problem.

Meme · 01-03-2012, 07:57 PM

My bike started having a miss today, then died on the highway. Then it wouldn't turn over. The lights and turn signals worked, and when I shorted the starter solenoid it would turn over but not run. I finally got some life by rapping on the fusebox and parts close to it under the storage box under the seat.

Since then it has died on me seven more times and done the hesitation thing about a dozen times or more. I have been kicking the frame by the right passenger peg while holding the clutch and starter to get it going quickly.

Does anyone know what may be causing this?
