Especially one the size of the diagram for the beastly Hawk....it needs to be
bigger. (Then there's the way that one wire changes colors when passing thru
several relays and one must keep track of all that business too...)

I had a few for my old bike printed out 11"x17" and laminated. those are nice
because you can carry them around the bike and don't worry about getting them
greasy. It's still really nice to just walk up to the wall and stare at a big
printout though. Makes it easier for me to understand.

pencils to trace my short. It would be easier this way. HotrodMamma.

I fixed it!!!
Many thanks to everyone's suggestions, but mostly to Dennis as it was his
suggestion that sent me in the right direction. I got a buddy at my old job to
print out the wiring diagram on the plotters at 36" x 48" so I could SEE it. I
knew the problem had to involve both the starter and the tachometer, so i
stared at the diagram for 30 minutes and figured it out. The two had the Black
wire in common. I traced the black wire and figured out the problem was a fuse.
The fuse wasn't blown, it was just old and falling apart in pieces. Full
write-up on my blog ofcourse ;)

There was a writeup on this some time back, and I think Dennis was the
one to explain it. I think he mentioned the exciter coils or something like
that. It is weak and quits when it gets too hot.

Doubtful it's the starter if the bike died when in motion, though your
standstill experience could be a sign of a starter glitch.
If the lights come on but the bike won't start, put it in second gear
and rock it until the engine rotates just a bit. That will move the
starter off a worn spot if that's the problem, and it will start right
up next push of the button. Fix is to rebuild the starter (any
automotive electrical shop can do it ... mine was rebuilt for $90) and
reinstall. But that death in motion thing is probably a bad
connection to the battery or ig switch.
