:helpPurchased bike 05/11 @ approx 7,500 miles - now has 9,600 miles.
This morning, after going approx 3 miles-cruising at around 50 mph- Engine cut out. Checked display and odometer was blank.
Grabbed clutch a few times and it began running again after what seemed like a long few seconds.
Something similar happened last fall (around October) only it didn't restart. Got bike towed home thinking that I just needed a battery. Opened it up and found negative terminal cracked and cable not connected. I was able to reconnect by a few threads and restart(original battery).
I replaced battery with a AGM Deka battery. I laid battery on its back and put a little loctite at bottom of terminal to stop from loosening - carefull not to get all over threads so that electrical connection would not be inhibited.
If bike is going to sit for more than a few days, I plug it into a bettery tender (it was plugged in this morning before I left).
I checked connections and everything seems tight. What could be going out after less than 10,000 miles (ok, and 5 years) - Help!!
