A friends 1990 FXR stops running above 60 mph. Pull over and let it sit for a short time and it will restart. You can ride as long as you don't go over 60 or it will shut down again. Carbed bike and thinking it might be an electrical issue. Any help would be apprecitated Thanks

 

Does the bike just shut off or does it spudder, shake, what?

 

your better off posting this on the Evo site lot of FXR experts over there.

 

Gas tank venting issue probably, gas caps most likely.

 

Agree

 

Check the fuel filter.

 

Could also be carb float needs adjusted.

 

Metalspike, the bike just shuts off, not as if it was out of gas. That's why we were thinking electrical.
I'll put this on the EVO page too, maybe someone there has had this issue.

 

replace the main circuit breaker. they get corroded over time and they get weak. when the contacts break you loose power.

 

I'm thinkin fuel related, as mentioned above.
