Engine cut out

[del_tl1000r]

Hi all. Owned my Falco for approximately 3 months. Was out a few days ago around some twisties. Had been out for around 1 hour. Was accelerating fairly briskly from about 50 up to 80 when all of a sudden the bike lost all power. Revs started dropping. Pulled the clutch in and revs dropped to 0. Engine wasn't running. No warning on dash and dash still had power. While I was still coasting at around 50mph I let the clutch lever back out thinking It might kick it into life but all that did was lock the back wheel up, which was interesting!! I pulled the clutch lever back In and pressed the start button and it started up again no problems. Continued on for another hour without any further issues. Any ideas?

Faulty/dodgy engine cut out switch? Now I've raised my bars, on full RH lock the cutout button can sometimes brush the tankbag. This stops the engine, without the button even latching, so it's not immediately obvious what's caused it to stop.

Possibly. I never actually use the cut out. It's always in the on position. I might have a wee look at that.

Two other favourites are the sidestand switch (if you still have one) and the clutch switch - both will have the same effect

I replaced the side stand switch within the first couple of weeks. The clutch switch is actually cracked a bit so doesn't fit where it should. So basically bypassed as it doesn't come into contact with the lever. I'll get a look at both the cut out and clutch switch though
