It's fairly common for the solder joint on the Start Switch to break lose. The most common symptom is the headlight goes out. Have you ever noticed that when you start your bike, the headlight turns off. Well it's that switch that does this. It's a fairly easy fix.

Take the dimmer switch apart and make sure the solder on the wire (purple) I think is good. My F3 did this to me on the way home and that was the issue. Good luck.
