Right Turn Only

[winger05]

I have a 2005 1800 with 17,000 miles and on my last ride I noticed that every time I leaned into a right hand curve or turned right at an intersection, parking lot, and etc. , My radio will cut in and out and my trip meter will go to zero. I will also get a "popping" noise in my helmet headset if the radio is off and I only have the intercom on. This has kind of got me stumped. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Are the indicators on when this happens?

That's a good question. I am not sure that every single time this issue has happened I was using my turn signal. I do know that I always try to use my signals when I ride.

You will need to isolate what is starting it off, if you are riding in a straight line and nothing happens and you can turn left and nothing happens then it stands to reason that the right hand side indicator(if it is on) is the catalyst.
I had a problem with one of my bikes and it was the earth on the right side circuit. Similar thing was fine until I used the indicators. Then my trip meter reset and my dash lights used to go off.
I assume the battery is ok?

Thanks for the advice. I will verify if this problem happens when I use my right indicator or not. Brand new battery installed just prior to this problem.

And check the battery terminals are tight. And the earth on the frame from the negative side.

Will do. Thanks for your help.
