Hey guys , I have a GEN-1 2003 model and I have experienced a mystery shutdown twice now and it's quite scary when it happens.This is what happens, the engine loses power and will not rev up and will go to a weak unstable idle until it shuts off.When it does this the neutral can not be found with the selector and the bike completely locks up as if in gear. It happen once in nearing an intersection and it required me to drag it off the road like the back brake was on. It happen yesterday again when I started it up. When it happens I let the bike sit a few minutes fiddle with some wires near the battery and it will start right up and be normal again,BTW this was preceded by the 7000 RPM indicator on the tach indicating Exup valve problem. I have checked this and it seems to be operating normally and I did adjust the cable as indicated in the manual. Any help would be most welcome because this is scary when it happens in motion. Thanks!
