My bike just cuts out while riding. One minuite it is going like a rocket, the next it dies.
I have been using the bike daily, about 12km each way to work each day for 3 weeks or so. Recently it stopped on the way down the Harbour Bridge on my way home. A couple days later it stopped 3 times within 2km. It will generally start again immediately 1st time after switching off. When loosing power when riding it is like it is running on 1 cylinder or worse and will not rev up freely with the clutch in or in neutral though usually will idle when I pull over. I do not loose all electrical power, as in, the lights and ignition are always working even if the bike stalls. It will turn over without hesitation immediately upon trying (Plenty of battery power). I decided not to cross the bridge through fear of breaking down and being squashed!. I have not used it since. The bike is in a good state of service, shimming, all filters (Fuel incl) oil etc.
It recently went into my local dealer in New Zealand, they reset all the base settings CO levels etc and thought it would be OK. It was for the initial 300km before it died again. This has now become very frequent.
If anyone has any thoughts of something I can check for myself before maxing out my credit card it would be appreciated.
