XT550 Eletrical Gremlin......
Its old but its reliable EXCEPT when traversing water.
Any water I cross, if it gets over the rubber and touches metal my bike stats to blubber if the rpm is not high and feathering the clutch you will be pushing it out. :thumbdown: IT appears the ignition is going to ground through the water. Speed is not relevant, depth is not relevant. As long as the water floods over metal. :( The bike has a battery eliminator, the rest of the electrical is stock. |
Have you removed the side stand switch? My old 1982 XT550 did run fine except when wet (rain or river)…..
