[QUOTE="Blue Crab, post: 883424, member: 27288"] I've had the exact same problem happen on my bike (2007 FJR1300A). The first time it happened, I was approaching a traffic light. After I squeezed the clutch and downshifted into 1st gear (while braking and coming to a stop), the engine cut out. It was a nice clean shutoff, like I had hit the kill switch. Bike was at normal operating temp. Thinking that it may have been the kickstand safety interlock, I removed my kickstand and cleaned/lubed it up. Things were good until about two weeks later. This time, I started the bike up, rode it down a hill, and as I was downshifting while coming to a stop sign, the bike died again. So, it doesn't seem to matter whether the bike is warm or cold. And it has only happened when coming to a stop. All gauges and lights appeared normal and the bike always started right back up. I'm still thinking safety-interlock. If you have the bike in gear and you put down the kickstand, the bike will shut off. I'm thinking that maybe with the inertia (forward momentum) of the bike coming to a stop is somehow causing the kickstand switch to momentarily engage. I have no proof of this but that's how it seems to be acting. [/QUOTE]
