Does the issue perhaps only occur when the bike is hot? Did it start ok the next morning when it was cold?
simplest things first - might be an old battery. Having a friendly dealer you can build a good relationship with is part of biking. Everyone has their fav but good ones won't charge too much and are ready to give advice. A post here on kb will get plenty of contacts and even maybe someone to get your bike to mechanics.
hi t6at, im so sorry to hear about your bike, im a new rider too and am having some trouble with the clutch on my new bike, so i guess thats my glitch for entering the world of biking ha ha. have you checked your spark plugs? anyway i hope you get back on top of things soon and hit the road big time. CREATURE is looking forward to his future adventures on the road bye for now, CREATURE wishes you good luck.
