radio shuts off

[terry stone]

Anyone know why when I brake at low idle my radio shuts off. And today when I started it for first time in two weeks the set cruise started flashing first time that happend starts easy runs great ?

weak charging system? when I use reverse- my radio shuts off, ALL the electric is going to the starter motor..if this is the case with your bike, you may not have enough electric power..

Thank you fatboy Im wondering if it could be aweak battery but it starts fine and only does it when it at low idle

[Fatboy46]

At low idle is the key. Thats why I suggested a weak charging system/low voltage. Could even be a bad ground. I am NOT a Honda mechanic. Just an old school tinkerer and electronic tech.
Low idle - foot/hand on brake lights on. All add a voltage drop or drain. If u can do basic electric tests check volts at idle and watch as they drop with brakes , radio, etc. should have at least 14+ volts at Rpm. And 12.+ at idle and maintain that voltage with accessories on. Mite be time for a new alt kit. Esp if u hv extra lights on ur bike

Thanks I will check voltage while at idle and see what it is reading doesnt do it all the time thanks again

Did you ever find a solution to the problem? I am having the same issue.

Thanks

Yes the problem with my radio shuting off was a loose battery terminal. It attually died on me once . That forced me to take a closer look at the battery. Was going to remove the battery and when I started to loosen the positive post it was already loose. I hope it is as simple for you.
