Interesting could you have accedently hit the cut off switch.? When I did my test ride I remember thinking that it was unusual to me to use the cutoff switch as the start button. Hopefully it's something like that as intermittent electrical faults are a *****.

For now I am going to assume you accidently hit the kill switch or side stand switch, if the issue continues will you let us know. :surprise:

Mention the cutout when you go for the 1st service, the ECU stores problems in memory, you will be able to get the reason from the service techie.

It could be embarrassing but sharing these issues is a good behaviour for knowledge sharing, hence why many are members of the forum.

Meant to say!
Don't think I hit the kill switch!
Display went blank, does that happen if you flick the kill switch?

No, the display goes blank only when the key is turned off. Kill switch just cuts out the engine.

Yikes. Have you tried checking the quick stuff like making sure the connections to the battery are nice and secure? Hit a bump when it cutout?
Keep us informed. Scary.
Hi
I have recently had a similar problem .
My bike cuts out about 10 kms after filling the tank .
In fact it has done it at the same road junction three times , after filling up .
It has occurred about 6 times in total over the past 2 months .
No warning lights come up .
It doesn't happen if I don't fill the tank to the very top .
Also when it happens , to restart I have to give it a bit of throttle , which I never normally need to do , hot or cold.
Unresolved mystery at the moment .
Out of warranty unfortunately !
( my dealer said that parts falling off in the first 1000 kms was not a warranty issue !!!! side stand , rear footrest !! -- these things must be my fault I guess )

I read this in your other post...
If it was happening to my bike I'd suspect a blocked breather somewhere. It sounds as if it is breathing through the overflow pipe, rather than the breather. When you fill the tank it could be blocking off the overflow, preventing air from entering the tank and creating a vacuum as fuel is used. When it cuts out, open the filler cap and see if you can detect air rushing in.
