Hi all,
The problem just started last night. The bike would auto shuts off after 20, 30 sec after starting while in idle. I can restart it, but it'll shut off again a couple sec later, unless I rev up the throttle a bit. Once the bike gets going it'd be fine for the duration of the ride. I thought at first it might be battery going bad, so I thought I'll check again in the morning. And low and behold same problem again this morning. While on my way to work, I was descending down a bridge and was holding the clutch to cruise, the bike shut off again while cruising. It did again in Neutral when I was stopped at the work's security check point. Now I started to think it's may not be a battery issue, however, I did noticed the clock on the dash was reset this morning.
I bought this 2008 bike second hand at 6K and is now at 15K+ miles. It only had oil changes done every 3-4K as maintenance, and only takes premium fuel. Everything is stock other than 2Bro slip-on and TST int tail light.
I'm not very mechanically incline, so I would appreciate any advice over this matter. Thank you for your time.
