so about 3 weeks ago i was on the freeway and my bike just shut off i looked at my gauge and my speedo was reading 0 mph. i quickly pulled off the road and shifted back to neutral and my bike started up us fine.. Im an aircraft electrician so i figured there might be an open somewhere so i did a full once over of the wires and found no chaffing or broken wires.. well the same thing happened last night again i was on the freeway doing about 72 and it died again just like before my gauge indicated 0 mph and i pulled over and i was still going forward and i just pop started it and it didnt happen again.... has anyone ever had this problem?

You can bypass the TIP sensor, I believe, not sure which wires you have to connect but a manual/wire diagram could tell you.
Also, see if you have any FI codes. near the battery there's a black service connector. With the key on and kill switch off connect the two wires with a paper clip then turn the kill switch on and see if your FI light blinks...

I will just chime in too. I had abrupt FI/electrical cut off issues while riding too several months ago. Very scary experience! Anyway, It was the loose battery terminals fortunately. If your batt. connections are OK, you might wanna check the bank/tip sensor and other safety cut off points. Good luck!

mate had very similar issues with mine here in oz ended up pushing mine about 6 miles in your measurement but go home and it would run fine once cooled down, bike sfop wound a broken wire in the plug that attaches to your coil pack causing a high resistence in the coil causing it to breakdown, misfire, jerk etc
