When the temps are around 50, I start with the choke on and after maybe 10-20 seconds I turn it off... I rarely ride with it on...

One time I was riding and the bike turned off... Was wondering what happened.. Apparently I ht the kill switch and the bike turned off.. Started right back up of course...
It could be but not likely the fuel pump... Usually when they start to go they shut off and don't want to restart for some time...
Good luck

What was your fuel level? and the oil light might have been on just because the bike was off. I know it sounds stupid but might as well be sure.

Thanks for the input everyone, i haven't been able to check anything out yet, but i have access to a multimeter. Will that help with checking anything? I don't know how to use it though, i have been researching about using them but i have no clue what i'm doing. Also, since my symptoms lead to electrical issues, does any one think it has any correlation to my brake lights not working also?

Btw, my idle does sputter a little bit, but i never have to keep the gas flowing or the rpms up to keep the bike running.

one last thing, i never ride with the choke open or slightly open. I didn't know that it would be terrible to do, but i've never done it anyways.

The problem is electrical in nature, there is a short circuit somewhere on the bike and it robs the coils of the voltage needed to generate spark. Solution: get a multimeter and find that short circuit. Mine was on the main headlight wiring, if the headlight and fan were both on at the same time, it would rob the coils of the voltage necessary to generate spark. Found the faulty wire, repaired it, now the bike runs great.

I'm writing this, because I spent 1500$ swapping parts to find the answer and every thread on the entire internet ended in a
cliffhanger "will let you know how it turns out...".
