Help, yesterday I went for a 60 or so mile long ride. Out on lonely roads and was wringing out my superVee good and proper. I was near home with 2 bars showing on fuel and turned into the robbery station for some fuel when the bike quit when I pulled the clutch in. Not a low idle stall...it idles at 1300 and never stalls.
It was like the electrics went out. Tach dropped imediately. I coasted into the pump and put it in neutral and it restarted, only to stall again, twice. Next try I started it and caught it with the throttle before it could stall. When I let it get down to 2000 rpm or so, it was like the elctrics died. No stumbling, no coughing, no backfire just dead, tach dropped instantly.
I am now concerned. I filled it with fuel. I pulled seat and battery cables were connected and tight. For some reason I thought TPS but have never reset it on the fly. I seemed to recall the following procedure and tried it...I turned key on but kill switch off. Cycled throttle stop to stop 4 times then turned kill switch back on. Started right up and idled like normal.
Rode it another 10 miles or so and took it home...no issues. Rode to work today and after 25 miles parked it at work. Absolutely no problems.
