MOTORCYCLE DIED AGAIN WHILE RIDING HOME FROM WORK TODAY IN TRAFFIC (02/07). I DID NOT STALL THE BIKE. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT QUICKLY AND GET MOVING BEFORE BEING BUMPED FROM BEHIND. BOUGHT THE BIKE (02/02/2019) AND IT NOW HAS 160 MILES ON IT. I AM THE SAME POSTER / SAME BIKE AS ABOVE (CLASSIFIED AS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM). BIKE HAS DONE THIS ON TWO PREVIOUS OCCASIONS AS NOTED. COULD ALSO BE FUEL RELATED IF NOT ELECTRICAL. I CAME HOME AND CHECKED THE VENT LINES FROM THE GAS TANK TO THE EVAP SYSTEM FOR KINKS, ETC. TEMPORARILY DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED THE LINE THAT RUNS FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE GAS TANK TO THE CHARCOAL CANNISTER MOUNTED INSIDE THE SKID PLATE AND HEARD A "WHOOSH' OF AIR. SO, THE TANK IS EITHER UNDER VACUUM OR PRESSURE, WHICH COULD BE INTERRUPTING FUEL SUPPLY TO THE ENGINE. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALER AGAIN (HAVE NOT HEARD BACK SINCE I FIRST CALLED EARLIER IN THE WEEK) AND THE DEALER IN WISCONSIN (GREAT FOLKS) AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. THEY WILL REPORTEDLY CALL THE ROYAL ENFIELD NORTH AMERICA HELP LINE AND GET ME SOME ANSWERS TOMORROW. I CALLED THE NUMBER (CORRECTLY, DIALED THE SAME NUMBER SEVERAL TIMES) AND GOT A SURVEY ASKING MY AGE AND PROMISING A TRIP TO THE CARIBBEAN. STAY TUNED.
