Thanks Bluesrider.df and MRFREEZE57 for your input. Guess everyone else must be on vacation.
Sounded like an electrical issue to me and the thread was getting pretty crowded...didn't want to muddy the waters as you seemed to have it handled with the posts I saw...
in my service manual it shows 3 fuses, one 40A main, one 15A battery and one 15A p&e, not sure what p&e is, but the first thing I would do is check all 3 fuses, do you have or know someone that has a multi meter? if so check all 3 fuses with the ohm meter to start with, although to clear things up first you did say that your headlight still comes on?
this would be very rare but am wondering if the on/off switch on the handlebar failed? one other thing check the leads from the ignition switch, there are 3 make sure are connected good, also test the ignition switch with an ohm meter, not totally sure on this but remember some time back a forum member said the ignition switch resistance should be 300 ohms on acc, 200 ohms for the on position but not totally sure.
The one person I know who likely has a multi meter is not anyone I could likely get over before the dealer comes to pick up the bike. Whatever it is seems to be something no other LR owner has experienced.
I went through this several times with mine but it was always related to the ignition switch. Connectors were bad in it so while riding it would basically think you turned the ignition from run to acc which will kill the engine. That being said mine would always start back up but would die with engine vibrations.
So although my failure was similar yours seems to maybe be different issue. On 2nd thought I suppose it could be stuck in off and acc instead of going to "run"?
Interesting. I never considered something like that. My bike will not restart.
just curious, have you had the ignition switch recall done on your bike?
Interesting that you mention the recall. I lost my spare key and ordered a new one; in spite of providing them with the correct key number they sent me the wrong one. The dealer worked out that the key number on the data base hadn't been updated when the recall was carried out by the previous owner at his dealership. So my new key has now been reordered on the correct number.
