So was driving into work and apparently my bike died for no apparent reason. I have a 2015 (non ES) version of the bike, 100% factory.
I was in third gear doing about 40mph coming up to a stop sign. I pulled in the clutch and downshifted to 2nd and released the clutch. I only got the clutch 1/2 released as it threw me forward into my tank, I assumed I just messed up and accidentally put the bike in 1st. I slowed down to 1st gear speed and went to release the clutch again. This time about the same time I was releasing the clutch I realized the motor was not running. When I released the clutch this time it did the same thing and lugged super hard and then started back up.
No idea how/why it would had killed the motor in 3rd gear and no I did not hit the kill switch. I did have the bike die on me at the dealer the day I bought it. Was just sitting on it and the motor just up and shut off, but I've never noticed this happening while actually moving.
Any idea what would cause this? I'm hoping this is not going to become a common issue with the bike...
