Bike just shut down while riding for 5 sec and security lamp came on and went out and the bike was function normal again , later after a stop for coffie 30 minutes , started up the bike run for 4 mins and shut down, no lamp came on, try to start nothing happend..
had to turn off ignition and back on again everything worked 100%, bike ran perfect on the way home (8 miles)

any idea what this can be ?

anything i can think of is that yesterday i overfilled with gas and there was some gas spill, saw that after filling was finish, the overfill was not over the top just 1 cm up the treads of the cap, and the gas level just went down to where its supposed to be , i guess that there is a overfilled-hose who drain this out.

i cant figure out why sec.lamp came on if there was something wrong the enginelamp should have came on, the sec module is under passenger pillow far away from gas tank.
:confused:

Im off to my garage in a bit and will check battery terminals.
also to hook up sepst to see if there are any error codes.
after last tuning the bike is running unclean at 2800-3000 is just like its cutting on fuel, at 4000 5000 6000 7000 it running perfect
i have a look at sepst to see if i can figure out how ti richen fuel at thise rpm's.

take a backup of the ecu first , just incase i screw up.

2013 VRSCDX Night Rod Spec. 1153 miles on clock

Help!
My engine quits frequently when downshifting and coming to stop.
Dealer hasn't a clue.
This is a potentially dangerous condition in heavy traffic.
Gear selection difficult when engine not running.
Nothing says "newbie" louder than fumbling for 1st gear while attempting restarting the engine.

There are no indications when this will happen.
My last ride was 38 miles...the engine quit 6 times.

Would appreciate any advice.
