hiya's twice now when heading home from different place's the bike has gone dead for about 1/2 a second any suggestions on where to start? have checked batt, wiring that I can get to with ease

Could possibly be the ignition wiring loom. They have been know to break wires under the sheathing where the loom bends around the steering head. Is the loom still cable tied in place? If so remove the cable tie. Might have to cut the sheathing and check if there is a dodgy wire there.

edit: I had a similar thing happen some time ago on my gsa...I replaced the ignition loom (Motorworks) and no problems since.

Ahmm! isn't New Zealand just another state of Australia??

With the engine running,does it cut out when you turn the bars left or right?.
Any problems with clock or tacho jumping about?.
As said,the wiring to the ignition switch could be breaking internally.
The sheathing looks OK but the strands inside are broken.
Bit of work with a soldering iron and some tape and she'll be right.

I have put a new ignition switch in about 2 months ago, but I will go back a check loom as it did break once before & I had soldered it so maybe?

Almost as good as Tassie roads.!!
