Why the motor stops suddenly??

[Cookrider]

Why ?after riding perfectly for a while
The bike stops likes if someone pulls a
a plug? It started just fine ,was reving just fine
then Poof nothing.Now it doesn t
start .The starter revs the motor but no spark.
The battery is new.It is not the first time it
does that. I could restart it then ,but now nothing??
Why would a bike run perfectly for a while
Then stop so suddenly

Fuse blew? you have a short somewhere?

[GateKeeper]

you ran out of gas....

but seriously, how about a bit of info, what bike is this, year, model, what have you done to it, is it stock, or mods, a bit of history will help, so would a picture.

could be, fuel, air, electrical, etc.....

My bet is on a bad connection. I had to cut out the plastic plug connectors going to the coil circut and hard wire them to eliminate an intermittent short on my 850L, bike would run fine untill I hit a bump, then it would cut out or quit running alltogether. Hard wired the connections, end of problem.

So I guess the moral of the story is just because they are a plastic connector and the post and receivers are bright does not necessarly mean they are good.

It does seem silly but is the tank empty?
I have run out of gas before now.

You may have a problem with your ignition switch. I had a situation once where the connector to the harness melted due to resistance.
