Default 07 sg died

Hi all,

So I'm flying down the highway yesterday about 120 k with a full tank of fuel and the bike just dies. So I pull over turn off the ignition then hit start and it starts and no more problems? Anyone have tis happen?

That's really odd. Did you accidentally hit the kill switch instead of the turn signal or something?

Intermittent electrical problem. Did the bike throw any codes? If it happens again look at speedometer/odometer and see if it does something unusual. For starters I would check my battery connections and other terminals to see if they are clean, tight and nothing is odd.

Mine sure did.

There are a lot of posts on here that describe a similar problem. A large number are reported to be loose battery cables. Second place seems to go to speed sensor.

+1 on the battery cables loose at the battery. Real common on this forum.
