Unhappy took my bike for a ride today. not good

So I ride the 10 miles to walmart today. Go in and do my thing and when I come back out my bike keeps turning over and turning over but not wanting to start. It has a HUGE backfire and some lady ducked in the parking lot. I'm not gonna lie, I laughed at her and started my bike. So I rode off thankful I got my bike started. I made it about a mile or 2 down the road and the damn thing dies at a busy stop sign. I got it restarted and everytime I went to let the clutch out it killed it like it was out of gas (which it wasn't and the fuel line wasnt' shut off). Anyways I call my boss and see if he will get a trailer and come and get me. He said that sucks for you, and "I'm sorry but I can't." Well nobody could come and get me except my wife who drives a Passat (can't fit the bike in it) and I reluctantly call the dealership to come and get my bike. THEY BRING A FREAKING TOW TRUCK!!! So they tow my bike back to the dealership and tell me it's $48 to look at your bike and we will go from there but it will be a week before we can look at it. GRRRRRR So now I'm doing this -->

Shoulda pushed it. lol JK

I had to push my bike about a mile before to get to a gas station from a freeway. Worst thing ever. My legs were aburnin!

I had mine do the same thing with the backfire at a gas station and so many people jumped or ducked. Great comedy. lol

Hope you get it fixed and let us know what the problem was so if mine keeps doin it i can fix it. Thanks

Wow a week? We are so slow now you could have waited on it unless parts had to be ordered.
Was it making any abnormal noises? Kinda sounds like a cam chain problem I had on one of my previous F2s. Dont wasnt to speculate just yet though. More info please.

I had that problem turned out to be the rectifier, also adjust the idle control on the side, see if that will help.
