I have a 2000 gsxr 600 with 21800 miles. This past sunday my bike died after I reached about 80 mph. The electronics did not cut off. It redline and died. Once I pulled over it started on choke and cut off around the same speed again. Could someone push me in the right direction. Carb has been cleaned :hammer
Fuel pump is going weak probably. Happened to mine.
There is a test procedure in teh manual. IIRC it should pump a smooth stream of fuel and fill a two liter in one minute? I forget the exact specs but it is in the manual. If it is a pulsing stream even if it gets close to the right amount I would replace the pump and it will likely fix it.
My first step would be to follow the manuals recommendation for checking fuel pump. Then I would check float levels (but those dont usually suddenly change). It sounds fuel related IMO.
I have the same bike. Mine did similar...and around the same speed. If the spring is weak, the vibrations/bumps make the plunger in the switch lose contact, shutting it down (not electronics, but the engine itself)
Put a ziptie around the sidestand switch (holding it in making full contact) and take it for a spin afterwards and see if it continues. If not..that was probly the issue. If it DOES continue, follow suit with what the others in here tell u to check

I would like to try out for Scarecrow as I would be perfect - No brain.
That's funny, I am wearing a Tinman shirt right now, it's a triathlon in Shreveport,
Louisiana. Was the regional championship and pro qualifier for Worlds.
