I have done some looking around and can't seem to figure out what my problem is.
I have a 95 Katana 600 that I took out for a ride for the first time of the year, it ran fine on my way there but on the way back it kept shutting itself off while driving down the road. I had to pull over and kick it into neutral to restart it... sometimes I had to go as far as shutting the key off and turning it back on a few times, other times putting the kickstand down and back up fixed it. However, I could drive without it shutting off as long as I kept the RPMs below 4K.
My only thoughts are in the kickstand switch or in the ignition switch, but I am unsure why I would be able to drive at low RPMs. Any ideas or advice on how to check these (other than splicing)?
Thanks in advance.
