Engine cutoff at 70+ mph is just marginally frightening

[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1450948, member: 19880"] Check that your connections to the battery are solid. Check battery voltage (after sitting with ignition off overnight). Check charging voltage at idle Check voltage at ~3500 rpm Get battery load tested Make sure sidestand switch is not flaky Check stored fault codes. What year is the bike? Might want to see if failure can be induced by wiggling ignition switch. Any anomalies with respect to dash lights - especially high beam indicator and signal lights? (ground spider or other connector) (I highly doubt it is your radar detector unless it is drawing a LOT of power for some reason - unlikely or it would blow a fuse or cook a wire.) If you have voltage issues from some of the above tests, you may have to find what's up - stator, R/R, bad ground somewhere etc... Good luck! [/QUOTE]
