It does NOT lose electrical when this happens so it is NOT the main circuit breaker which has been updated. Temperature of bike doesn’t seem to make difference and neither does fuel level. Two or three times it has shut off long enough for me to coast to side of road and re-start WITHOUT cycling run/off switch–I just hit start.

What to do if your bike dies at a red light?
I wobble the bike to the median/sidewalk since it doesn’t restart back up like the other times. turn the key a couple times and then the thing lights up again, and starts back up. About 1/4 mile from that spot, filtering down to another red light in traffic and dies completely again. Wobble off to the side.
