G'Day all
This may help other riders.
I went out to bike to go for a ride. Started her up with the choke on. After a few minutes I was about to ride away when bike stoped dead. Electrical fault. Bike would not restart. Wheeled bike to my garage to explore. Lights and all came back on so I tried to restart and it went click, and all power gone again. Checked all fuses and all ok. I checked battery terminals connections on bike which looked ok but I could move them if i tried. Tightened fittings to make them a snug fit and all is now good. It just has to be a poor connection to stop the bike.
P.S bike is less than 6 months old.
I am glad this was all that was wrong.
