First off, 02 LT, just over 50,000 miles.

While riding in the Bonzai Rally Memorial Day weekend I had the bike start acting unusually. On several occasions the bike would die as I slowed to a stop. It always fired up again right away. Didn't do it every time by any means. It did it again here the other day when I was coming home from work as slowed for the stop sign near my house.

Any ideas what's going on?

Thanks for your thoughts.

This happens frequently when the battery is disconnected. Any chance you have a loose battery cable or weak battery?

One possible cause to check out for starters . . .

Open gas cap when it stops - if there is a whoosh of air going into the gas tank you have a
clogged canister. Eliminate the canister - search the forms for instructions and others who
have done so.

And to temporarily avoid the problem and ride home open the gas cap up so that it is not totally closed!!

Report back if this does not solve the issue as there will be more to follow!
