There was no early warning, even after charging the battery and again later dying after a long ride.Good deducing. I was in practically standstill traffic after a truck pulling a trailer had jackknifed closing two out of three lanes of the interstate. In 35 minutes we had made it almost 5 miles. Where it went out is a big downhill, so I was just coasting. I'm fairly certain the battery was already on its last legs - basically idling for a half hour did it in.
Maybe in JF's case (with a weak battery), and he can confirm, the engine RPM was too low, or low long enough to experience engine stall.

I haven't have a weak battery stop my bike before. Normally its the charging system failures that will stop engine once the battery juice run out.Yes. Take a look at my reply to GoldOxide. I was going downhill in stop and go traffic. I guess I couldn't keep the RPMs high enough to maintain the power it needed to keep going.
