yesterday im riding up hwy 87, and im cruising at a good speed when i come tothis long curve that goes into a strait away so i hit 165 and back off. as im slowing down i down shift and when i pulled the clutch in the bike died. so i coasted to the side of the road and waited for the other guys i was riding with. i try to start the bike up and it wont stay running when the bike is standing up strait (it will run on the sidestand). any ideas?

 

You check the gas???

 

full tank

 

once it dies from pulling it straight up will it immediatly start back up when you put it on the kickstand or do you have to turn the key off then back on again??? If you have to cycle the key than it is most likely your tilt sensor malfunctioning.(made to kill the motor when you lay the bike over.) Never ran into one of them going bad but it could be possible. If its not that i would have to guess it is a electrical connecttion loose somewhere. It would be impossible to diagnose that over the forum.

Let us know about the sensor.
