Bike just died
Was running about 90 down the interstate and bike just shut down. Got pulled over and it fired right back up, ran for mins then cut off. Started right up again and been fine since. Any ideas what it could be? Possible on/off swiyh going bad maybe? By the way bike wasn't hot only showing 177 degress so I know it wasn't to hott. Any info would be great. Gotta get it fixed planning a 2hr run down to wildwood bike week in 2 weeks and don't need it breaking down again.

RE: Bike just died
Lights on the gauges go funky - would it turn over, but not start - look here as well...

Did you insturmant cluster look weird at all when it died? If it did, that's exactly what's wrong.

RE: Bike just died
Battery is only month old.When it died a red light came on , Probably because it was in gear, anf FI light was blinking a few times. Don't know exactly how many times though.once i pulled over it cranked over but didn't start right away. I pulled off seat and checked connections, were tight, so tried starting again, fired right up, ran for a min then died. Started again after flicking on/off swithch a few times then fired right up and been fine since. I'll pull off seat and crank down on terminal with socket and see maybe not tight enough using screw driver. Was some vibration since we were riding anywhere from 90 to 120 mph so maybe loosened up enough to lose connection. Thanks for the input.
