    Yesterday I was riding on the interstate, doing between 70 and 75, and for a second the bike just quit. About 3 miles later, it did it again. Just like I had turned it off and back on. Other then those 2 hiccups, the bike has been running great. I'm thinking it's probably an electrical problem. If it were fuel, it would have given some indication like spitting and sputtering, sluggish acceleration, no power. But like I say, it has been running great. I've put 1700 trouble-free miles on so far this season. The valve clearances are due to be checked in another 800 miles. Any insights? Thanks.

    this may sound stupid, but do you still run the original fusebox?
    Or battery terminal corrosion, or maybe the emergency engine stop switch if you never use it. All those have given me (minor) problems in the past.
