my 2004 vindicator starts good, but once I having been going for a while it will cut out. After 5mins it will start again. Sometimes it will go good for days, then it will start cutting out again.

Subscriberhad the same thing happen to the electrical system in my raider 2 years ago, the fuse breakers behind my ignition cover where the key goes, not the points cover would get hot and cause them to tripp, i re-wrapped each of them individuallty with electrical tape and haven’t had a problem since 🙂 cant hurt to try it, when they did trip the breakers after about 5 minutes when they cooled down bingo electrical was back to normal

AdministratorDougie is spot on check/upgrade those breakers. The bad news is yours are on the splash guard and will require pulling the rear wheel to service. The ones in the ignition boxes are more prone to be effected by the heat off the motor but you may just have a bad breaker.
Also the symptom of cutting out can sometimes mean vapor lock from a blocked vent tube. Open the gas cap and see if it starts right back up. Your lucky replacing a Vindicator cap is cheap.

SubscriberDougie, I have an 04 Raider as well. I have not had this happen to me yet (knock, knock) but, in case it does I want to know exactly where it is at. Are you talking about inside the ignition box, that is what heats up and trips?
tks
What other issues have you had with your bike? I’ve posted several questions/issues if you have a second.

AdministratorNo, it was a breaker not sure if it was inside the ignition.Other than that bike runs sweet. Do you know the horsepower & torque for a 113ci S & S otor?

SubscriberNo, I’m sorry I don’t.
Steve, can you answer his question about how much torgue and horse power does an S-S 113cu engine put out?

Subscriberhey i bought my raider new in 05, got about 13000 miles on it, had little things here and their as can be expected with a custom, and 2 major issues. 1 with the compensator nut coming off the crank inside the primary, first time was about 4 months after i bought it. inside of primary was totally trashed, thank god for the warranty $$$. 2) the aluminum ring covering the crank assembly shredded and ate the clutch hub and seized the clutch, new clutch pack from rivera is 137 bucks not to bad at all and can be a self fix if your knowledgeable. but instead i put a rivera 3 inch open drive on it. “I dont regret buying my bike at all” i have met other raider owners that have had one problem after another with theirs but knock on wood i have’nt. feel free to ask questions. P.S read all my posts and pics back and forth with stephen about my gas cap 🙂

AdministratorThe HP is about 110 with the 600 cam. I’d have to look up the torque.
