Default 750 street died out while driving 65mph

Today my 2015 street 750 died out on the interstate doing 65 mph. It died out with no warning, loss of electrical power headlamps gauge lamps everything. I was fortunate to be in the slow lane and was able to coast the bike to a safe spot. I waited a few minutes tried starting it up saw the sweep of the needle but went 25 feet and again fell on it's face. I ended up pushing it about 1/4 mile to the next exit ramp and had my wife pick me up and trailer it back to the dealer. At the dealer it started up fine.... I feel confident its an electrical issue not a fuel complaint anyways 8400 miles on it. I do have the Harley extended warranty hopefully it will be covered. I'll post back when they diagnose it the shop is busy so it may be next week. I also have a 94 Honda Magna so I can keep my riding therapy going. Have a happy 4th everyone.

Glad your safe, that must have had some serious pucker factor? Your warranty should cover the problem. My suspicion your fuel pump is on the fritz?

I got the bike back today, the previous owner replaced the battery with an aftermarket one and it failed, it did not like the heat. The dealer replaced it free of charge, not sure the life expectancy of the factory battery but it's on its third now.
