My '02 has 39k on it. I replaced the plug wires a few years ago, with some Nology wires. I put new plugs in annually.
Today I rode about 250 miles for work. On the 115 mile ride out, I had no issues. The bike sat for a few hours, than I restarted and gassed up. Than restarted and rode about 7 miles. Without warning, I lost all power and backfired a bit (still had lights). I was going about 65 mph at the time and leaning into the power up a pretty good incline I coasted to a stop, hit the starter and it fire right up. It did the same thing about 3 miles later.
I than rode another 100+ miles with no issues. I went thru a small PA town, started up a pretty steep, long hill at around 40 mph and it did the same thing twice. Refired both times immediately, than no issues for the 40 or so miles home.
Does this sound like the infamous ignitor?
