Howdy folks,
I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure this out so I'm gonna try to be as thorough as possible here and see if anyone else knows.
So about a week ago my bike died while I was stopped at a light. Just cut off, no stall out or tapering off. The next day it did it twice while stopped at a light. Then later that day almost home after a 30 minute ride, it bogged down suddenly while I was going about 40/45 ish. I realized it had cut out but the movement of the bike turned it back on (like bump starting). It then shut down shortly after when I had stopped moving. I was less than a couple miles away from home when that happened but before I got home it would hardly stay on. A few days later I rode it around on some empty streets to try to diagnose it. It cut out 2 or 3 times over only 5 ish miles. It's very inconsistent tho, doesn't seem to matter if it's cold or hot. It hasn't done it on the freeway and when a friend rode it right after I tried to diagnose it, it didn't even happen to him.
Every time it cuts off, it fires right back up instantly. It runs nice and smooth like it's supposed to and the valves were checked less than 6,000 miles ago and are still in spec. Everything acts like it's fine and then it acts up and goes right back to being good. The self diagnostic hasn't picked anything up either. A mechanic friend said he's pretty positive it's not the actual fuel system but something electronic. So what do ya'll think?
If you need any more details, just ask
