I know the ignition has never been replaced, but that is something that I never checked. Pestelince I think you miss understood my original post, I didn't have to turn the key on and off a few times, It was a few times when It happend that I'd reset the ignition one time and that worked and the other time the bike just came back on while I kept it in gear , I only had to reset the ignition once per incident. I do however think you were correct with your original reply, I got to thinkin about what the other guy said about bikes bieng different from cars as far as the battery affecting how the bike runs. Which seems true because when my bike is idling (and all my friends bikes as well) at night (when all the lights become apperent on the speedo and such)and I blip the throttle my lights whill brighten up a bit. Maybe the bike relies more on the battery when at idle because the alternator isnt really spinnin fast enough to juce the bike and all the lights and crap. It seems that this only happend when I was slowin down and had my brakes applied and the cluch in, so the slight buid-up I had on the negative post of the battery effected the current it wouldn't be evedent when I'm crusin down the road with the rpm around 6K but while slowin down and pullin the cluch in and when the brake lights are pullin more juice from the alternator/battery when the bike would hit idle fow a few seconds this drop in current (or loss of current) would possable cause the bike to shut off, as it did. It sounds kinda far fetched but I also washed the bike right before I went on the ride so I guess the combination af everything made this happen.
Everything whent fine on my ride last night anyway, but the weather isn't coperating to much so I haven't been able to get out much. I'll try and ride to work in the mornin(weather permitting), but I'm confident that all is fine know.
I would like to note I had a similar problem in my cargo van (bike transporter) with the corrosion INSIDE the actual ground cable. My van would run fine but every once in a while It wouldn't start and seemed like the battery was dead. I ended up replacing both (+) and (-) cables and that fixed the problem.
Thanks for all the help!!
