So I've been a bit bad and neglected the VTR (too many bikes). I took it for a 800 mile trip this weekend. About 250 miles out I was cruising at 90mph when the bike just quit. Clutch in and coasted to the side of the road.

My old CBR blew the main fuse when the R/R died and since I'm at 22,000 miles I was grimacing but it started right up and ran flawlessly for the remaining 550 miles.

Anyone ever had anything similar happen? Anything to check? I'm about to do a full service. My gut tells me electrical.

Did you buy chance just fill up the gas tank prior to this. It could have vapor locked.

Nope. Probably had 60 miles on the tank when it happened.

U shouldn't be going 90 mph, thats the problem...

I would guess that going 90+ is the cure. You prob had a plug of water down there for God knows how long and as you are chowing up the asphalt this glob of **** is digested by the carbs. The bike shuts down, pukes, barfs and farts and it's over. Starts right back up and everything is cool. Randy has this one down. Sea Foam - just a capful here and there keeps the gremlins away.
