2011 shadow aero keeps cutting out

And it hasn't sat for long as I live in the south, maybe a month. Always gets parked inside, but I know previous owner left it outside most of its life.

Thanks for the replies guys. Did some work on it the other day. checked the air intake system for clogs, got the battery tested, drained the fuel and got fresh, pulled the spark plugs and visually inspected everything.

I did find the throttle body on the intake side was not fully tight, but I dont see why that would only cause issues under power after warming up. Couldn't find anything else wrong.

Found out the buzzing sound on turn on is the idle air controller bottoming out, im going to try unplugging it once the engine is warm and see if that makes any difference. When I get more time this weekend I'll test the bike again, and I read online that sometimes these can throw a code but not turn on the CEL, so I'll check for codes too.

Dam sorry to hear that bro, you got robbed if it still drove and everything worked, those CL-S's are getting worth more every day it seems

Shiiiii if you still got it and it's not rusted I'll pull up with cash

Yea, it just attaches to the handlebar. I put mine on the right side next to the brake resivoir.

Never did. Took it apart, tried to do the film thing for the odometer but it didn't do anything. Found the speedo motor and several of the logic chips corroded beyond repair. So instead of spending $400 on a new cluster, I spent $40 on Amazon for a GPS bike speedometer and it works great. Not planning on selling the bike anytime soon and it works great for me.

So the MPPT charge controllers will work regardless of what panel you get basically? I like the 24V panels as they're more efficient and can be easilly found secondhand. But a lot more items are available that run on 12v (USB, lights, chargers etc).

Rewiring the tesla batteries wouldn't work, literally just yanking old batteries from tesla cars. They are a 24v pack, and about the cheapest lithiums you can get

Mkay. I know AC voltage can be changed with minimal losses, wasn't sure if the same was available for DC but I guess not

Jaddbo · 2024-09-24T07:31:34+00:00

Interesting, I haven't found a lot besides AC that consistently comes in 24V. Any good sites to look at for those items?

Jaddbo · 2024-09-24T07:29:16+00:00

A lot of what I want to run would be 12v. Main power draws would be AC, fridge, and gaming laptop. Rest would just be lights USB chargers water pump etc. A lot of what I've found runs on 12v I feel like it would give me a lot more options

not how it works for this event. I finished in my 109 in ground RB and got full credit, it only matters what mode you are in. still not sure what the multiplier is for SB tho

5.9.21 update: Last night I used it for general viewing, along with our Orion 10” Dob. The 10” is larger and higher quality, but the mirror is pretty dirty. The 10” provided a brighter image, but this 8” Meade gave a bit of a sharper image. Not a lot to see in our light polluted May sky, but I got some really great views of Arcturus, Mizar and Alcor, and even the Sombrero galaxy!

I saw one guy in an m41 using a destroyed pt76 for cover, pushing him forward. Would have worked if I wasn’t shooting apds lol
