I had the same problem on a brand new bike, '07 900 Classic. It would be fine for a few days and then it would just one day be dead. It turned out it was an bad ECU. The mech at the shop had to have the Kaw rep ship him a new one. Since then all has been good.

Since that's a warranty part, Chaz will have to take it to the Kawi dealer, but at least he knows the problem now!!!
DINGDINGDING. We have a winner!!! Johnny, tell cbh what he's won....

Good to hear, Cheri, that the problem has been found. It sure is no fun riding only to expect to be stranded.
