stewgnu Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Possibly a quick query for the leccy-minded chaps on the group: Someone was inferring on faceache that a bike (cali 1100i) that cut out when hot, but was fine when cool, may have dicky relays. I wondered- Why would that be a thing? Working when cold, but not when the bike’s hot? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Relays get hot in use. Especially under-rated relays (common) in a high current position (ignition/fuel like Relay#5 on our V11). We have a thread with some IR temperature testing I can probably find . . . ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are a few posts above in ºF . . . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
