I once went riding with a guy in his mid 70's who had suffered 3 heart attacks. Doctor told him he had about 10 seconds to stop the bike and get off the road if he had another heart attack while riding. I made sure I rode way in front of him and kept an eye on him. He did ride slow.

Interesting. Would need details on what is actually happening. Are all the electrics on? When he goes to re-start and it doesn't, does it crank. I made an assumption tht it cranked, and he had electric, because he didn't mention starter or anything. But I was make assumptions.

Yes that is why I asked if the electronics would stay on ,and when he tried to restart and failed, did it crank.

I believe it does it with full tank of gas.

So this is the way it happens....when i am ridding...it may stop in the first 1 mile or may be after 3-4miles...i have park the bike..wait for a min to try and start again....have to try this few times before it starts....but this may happen again in few mins.....last week i was on a freeway at 70mph...suddenly it stooped and i had to do the same thing...when i try to restart...it may just crank few times...then i have to again put it off completely and try after 1min...
