I bought new in 2001 a Triumph Thunderbird. It only has 7,000 miles since new. Bike starts easy but sometimes when you shut it off it won't start....it seems like the electrical system is dead...horn won't blow starter won't turn...just dead...If you put the bike in 4-5th gear and rock the bike it usually will start right up again...it seems like it is a starter issue but why is the entire electrical system dead if there is a starter problem. This has happened for two years now the dealer can't seem to find the problem. My dealer is 2.5 hours from me and I have hauled it up there in a trailer when it would not turn over get it out of the trailer and magically it starts right up...so again maybe the shaking in the trailer is enought to make it start...getting very irritated I don't get to ride much (7000 miles in 18 years) and I would really appreciate some insight on this problem.....
