Did any of you suffered something like that?:
Cruising at 6th gear, around 130kph.
Engine just shut down...
No warning lights, head light stays on.
I can start it up onli after a delay of 30 sec or so....
The dealer didn't see nithing on his diagnostics computer.
Any help will be much appreciated!
 
Fuel tank not venting properly is a possibility. The delay in starting may be air getting back into the tank so the fuel pump isn't struggling.
 
It's an electric/ecu problem
Because there is no starter for 30 sec. and the cut is immediate.
The tank is vented correctly.
 
I experienced similiar symptoms when the OEM fuel filter failed on my one week old V7 III with 1100 miles on it. It shut down and wouldn't start at all. Perhaps your Fuel filter is leaking and won't hold pressure.

The selling dealer retrieved me and the bike and hauled us 300 miles back to his shop. then inn 30 minutes the filter was replaced with an all metal filter an I was once again on my way. The OEM filter is a POS, is half plastic and half metal and the plastic had failed , not uncommon. It was replaced by an all metal filter. I suggest all owners switch to the metal filter to eliminate this risk of failure. It's a know problem but yet the nice folks in Mandello continue to used the POS plastic/metal filter..... Rant over!

Paul and John, two good points...
I'll chek them...
But I suspect the ecu because the speed/gear combo pattern.
Have a great and safe weekend

Speed is calculated by the dash/instrument panel not the ECU. BTW, the ECU is part of the throttle body assembly on your bike.

I did - but I doubt your issue was my issue. After that happening to me I took all the fuses out, checked all the fluids, and everything else I could think of only to finally realize while I was futzing with a glove I must have hit the kill switch by accident. Le sigh.

The kill switch is innocent...
 
The problem has been solved.
It disappeared after recalibrating the tps (throttle positioning switch)
Thank yo all for your help!
