For sure. Electrical issues get sketchy
I just did a quick visual inspection of the the controls and the loom. Everything in the controls seemed fine.
I did find some of shoddy wiring left over from a previous owner by the front left turn signal. There was a wire with a bare metal contact (think the inside of a butt connector) that could have touched the tank or frame. And a wire in the back to a turn signal with a melted butt connector.
I fixed both of those for the time being.
Maybe one of those had something to do with it.
