Just read this thread.
We used to have a small car with this problem. I tracked it down to the inertia switch that shuts off the fuel pump in the event of an accident (to prevent flooding out the car with petrol). In that case it would just cut out almost at will if you drove over a bump in the road; you had to reach under the passenger seat to reset it.
Very annoying calls - "Dad I've broken down again!
In the end I found one from the breakers, replaced it and no more grief.
Modem fuel injected bikes also have a similar gravity switch that does the same thing but in our case when we fall off!
I'm with Greg on this....... or was it Ridem?
Cheers
