You can idle it for 10 minutes and the light will not come on. Take it for a 5 minute ride and it will come on...stay on for a minute or so then go out again. There is no other signs of overheat. Any history of bad sensors or ECU??? Thanks for any info...Terry

Hi there!
dont give up on it yet. the CDI costs much! This sounds like a wiring problem. I've had the same problem before but i checked and traced the wiring and found out that the positive lead wire is making contact with the chassis.. due to vibration and just, it must have eaten the insulator. Check on this part. Also, make sure that your carb jets and spark plugs are clean.
-hope this gives you an idea.

It sounds like you probably need to replace the fuel filter, or you may have alot of trash in the bottom of your gas tank, possibly even water in the gas. If you can, take the tank off and clean it out well, making note if there is any trash in it, by emptying it into a bucket so you can examine it. Go ahead and replace the filter if you find any trash or water in the gas tank. If it is ok, then the next thing would be to check the fuel line for aging. Sometimes in rare cases, the hose gets old and weak and when you try to pull fuel through it, it can collapse and essential stop the gas flow, just as if you have turned the gas off, then when the suction is stopped the hose will open back up and appear to be in good shape. You can use your fingers and squeeze the line the entire length and see if it seems to feel excessively soft, if so that could also be causing your problem.

Start by checking your right hand switch (kill switch) and make sure that it works ok.
Put it in "run" position,start the engine and try to move it sideways without pressing it to "off" position.If necessary remove it and check inside for rust or moisture signs.

I have purchased a lowering kit for my 1100 Custom from Pacific Coast Star. Give them a try link here.
The progressive front and rear springs should improve handling and prevent the wallowing.
Good luck!
Hope this helps!

Does it remain between 3 and 4 all the time not higher? If yes, then you can say it is normal as long it remain about half way distance between "c" and "h" indicators. Good enough?
