did you check your idle rpms? probably too low.

The idle rpms is the first thing that came to my mind too. Is the bike still covered by warranty? If so have the dealer check into it (if it's not the rpms).

could it be spark plugs? or a cat in your airbox restricting airflow? I`d check all of the above before having to deal with a dealer

1) What model year is the bike?
2) How many miles on the bike?
2) What's the idle rpm set at?
3) Does it happen when the bike is cold or hot?
4) Do you get gas from the same station?
5) Has the tank been lifted?
6) Are all the vent tubes routed correctly?

Are you sure you're not just stalling the bike by not fully pulling in the clutch? Or are you saying the bike completely shuts off like as if you turned it off with the key?

i am sure. its not completley, more like when you flip the run switch, i just have to start it again

thanks a lot:rockon: the idle was 850-910 that sucks...soo i got it up to 1250-1200...will keep you guys updated.

Adjust the idle between 1250-1350 rpm when the bike's temp is at normal riding temperature.

are you bumping the shut off switch? I have had one person call me, ask me to come help them, get there the bike is apart, and all it was is the shut off switch.

I had this happen to me once. I was braking and I hit the cutoff switch. Very easily done. :Sport:
