    You check main fuse... Only saying that as my old commuter stopped working.. I just left it and then gave it to the brother in law... It's the main fuse... A 2minute fix for him and I felt a plonker...

    I hope you are right but dont count your chickens.... Im experiencing gremlins with my America at present, started her up today & all was good, running sweet but once she warmed up the misfire returned again & dropped down to one cylinder.

    I guess im just going to have to spend some serious time & probably money on getting it back to good health. I think my problem is either one of the coils or the cdi unit :-/

    Have you checked the fuel filter I have a friend who has a Daytona 750 and when the bike heated up it would miss and cut out and would not start until it had cooled down.

    Might be worth a look anyway.
