So my bike broke down yesterday - wondering if anyone might know what happened? I had been out for a long spin with my girlfriend on the back. I was giving it some stick down the motorway - going pretty quick, I slowed down a little and all of a sudden the bike just dies. The Red right went on at the right hand side of the dash, I pulled over. Oh-oh. I was worried. I gave the bike 5 mins and tried it again, it took a few seconds but it did start, I was only a few miles from my parents house so I limped home. However it did the same thing half way and just cut out. Again I gave it a few mins and it did start so I was able to get back ok. When I got to the house I called a local mechanic and I was going to drop it down to him, but this time, I turn the bike on, the lights come on, but when I push the starter, it literally goes completely blank and everything turns off. I'm getting it towed to a mechanic today - but can anyone take a stab at what might be wrong?
