My brother in law has a 2001 Katana and while he is riding it the thing just shuts down. Like yesterday we was on the interstate riding about 80mph, I noticed he slowed down, then he came flying by me. We pulled off for a sec. and I asked him what was that and he told me his bike shut off. I think it could be his plugs. Any opinions? He don't have alot of money to nickel and dime it. Has anyone had this problem?

Obvious answers:
(A) How low was his fuel? If he was close to reserve, he might have been sucking fumes with the petcock at "ON"
(B) Sidestand switch
(C) Fouled plugs
(D) Bad electrics (the CDI issue Arsenic mentioned puts a ceiling on the RPM's at a specific level - can't get past a specific RPM).
