I've had two instances of an electrical problem which someone might be able to shed some light on. I'm currently still in Morocco and I had been riding along at about 50-55mph for 30 minutes or more and as it was cold I decided to switch on the Oxford heated grips. The controller flashed at me and switched off which normally means it's cut out because the voltage is too low. So I tried again and the same thing happened.

Then the orange warning light came on. A minute or so later the digital dash blanked out. A minute or so later the rev counter gave up. Then the engine started misfiring. Seeing as I was 80 miles from anywhere in the Rekkam Plateau area I carried on. The misfire got worse, then suddenly cleared and the rev counter, digital dash and warning light were all back to normal.

An hour or so later the same thing happened--exactly as related above.

That was two days ago and since then everything, including the heated grips, has been fine.

Any suggestions?
Tim
