    :idea: Noticed a slight misfire when driving then it stopped - short time later, engine stalled, headlight instrument panel lights remained on - trying to restart from powerless rolling by gearing down and releasing clutch did not re-start - once at side of road, shifted trans back to nuetral ( green light on ) engine then restarted as if nothing had happened ???? - the same thing has happened three times now without warning - engine re-starts right away heat doesn't appear to be the problem - can drive but certainly not far - any ideas

    Have you ever checked the valve clearances?

    Although I doubt it's related.

    My #1 suspect would be the sidestand switch, if it simply shuts off as though you'd hit the kill switch. Because of where it lives, it takes a beating and doesn't "keep on ticking."
