So this has happen to me two times recently and its a bit unnerving... I know there have been a few post about this issue, but I've not been able to go through them all to see if there is a possible solution. I'll be taking my bike in next week for the 12,000 service so I was hoping to gather some info before hand.
Twice in the past week or so my bike has died when merging onto the freeway from an on ramp. I'm coming off the Coronado bridge here in San Diego and merging on to the 5 South, its a bit of a blind curve and the traffic is known to be backed up frequently. Friday I was coming around the on ramp and had pulled in my clutch to down shift, traffic was surprisingly light so I decited to keep the bike in the gear I had it in. During the time I had the clutch pulled in and making the decision to stay in gear the bike died. I was going a good 45mph so I just let out the clutch and of course the bike fired back up. This happend about a week prior in the exact same spot, except that time I did down shift and had to break to about 20mph when I noticed the bike full out died. This time however traffic was stopping so I had to push the starter.
As mentioned, the bike is due for 12,000 maint, it has had all the maint done on time and at a dealer. Any suggestions on possible solutions that I could pass along to the dealer next week would be appreciated.
