I have a 2004 deuce efi which has screamin eagle heads, pistons, air filter, race tuner and slip ons. I ride the bike every day and do a long 1000 km run about once a month. Over the last few months I have had a series of problems culminating in the engine cutting out on the highway at about 85 miles per hour in traffic (really scary) 3 months ago the starter motor burnt out while riding, this was replaced by the local dealer, shortly after that my zumo 660 gps, (which is wired as per the installation guide directly to the battery), stopped charging but the fuze and wiring were ok. I then had a few cut outs at low speed but once everything was switched off and started again the bike started immediately. After that I had a problem with the new starter motor (after 500 kilometers) trying to engage again after start up. The dealer recovered the bike as the starter motor kept trying to engage while the bike was running while stationary. They changed the right hand start button assembly and this seemed to solve the starter motor problem. recently the bike cut out at 90mph prior to cutting out the bike sounded a bit rough for a few seconds as if the timing was off. Switched everything off and it started up as normal. I live in Malaysia and frequently ride through very heavy monsoon rain, the temperature here is very high as is the humidity.The bike has done about 55000 miles in these conditions with a few minor problems. Next week my wife and I are off on a 4000 kilometer ride through Thailand in some pretty remote areas near the Loa and Burmese border any ideas what the problem could be. My wifes 11 year old sporty never seems to have any problems with the weather or mechanical issues (touch wood)
