2007 Classic. 15,500 miles ( I bought it last year with only 300 miles on it!)
The bike has been great. Starts up fine and runs very well until now.
Lately, when I have been riding for about 20 or so miles and come upon slow traffic, with the RPMs around 2000 or so, the bike will suddenly quit just like you turned off the key for about one second (which seems like a hour!!)
It will start with no throttle adjustment at all and run fine unless I have the clutch pulled in then I will have to re-start and go.
This only happens in slow trafficn, not at speed (yet).
What do yuo think?
Please don't mention the ECU!!! There are no dealers in the Philippines.

Check your kickstand switch first.

Check your kickstand switch first.

Check it for what and how?

Good reply as this happened before but it would quit for a longer period of time.
I disconnected the sidestand switch and the clutch switch a long time ago and never had anymore problems for about 8000 miles........until now.

Did you ever get the problem figured out?

I think so.
The positive terminal on the battery was finger tight!

That should cure it.Glad to hear it was an easy fix.

I had a loose screw on my battery once too... Was pretty freaked out when my speedometer was going from 70 to 0 back and forth and then the bike wouldn't start. Screw fell out!
