HELP!! My bike SHUTDOWN While at a light!!
What’s up guys,
Well the title says it all. I went riding around town with some friends on Sat (restaurant, bar, parts store and a quick hard sprint on the freeway) and once we were rapping it up we ran it pretty hard on the freeway (like 70-80 mph)for like ten minutes to make it to the parts store before they closed. Here’s where my problem started, after exiting the freeway we were at a light for about 2 min. when Maximus (My Bike) shut down on me, my friend said he saw a little smoke come from the exhaust, also the heat from the rocker box, engine or whatever made my leg feel like it was on fire. So after a few min. of sitting on the side of the road to let him cool down we made it to our destination, picked up my parts then left, then it shut down again at the light (but it started right back) then on the freeway, I hit 50mph then it shut down, needless to say after we made it to a restaurant to stop and eat for about 45min to let him cool down some more I made it all the way home with no problem, didn’t go over 60 though. Can anyone give any advice on what it might have been???? Thanks in advance Guys your advice is greatly appreciated.
Here’s some info that might help
Bike: 09’ Nightster

What ^^^ he said....But I'd leave out the parts about "ran it pretty hard on the freeway (like 70-80 mph) for like ten minutes" and refering to your bike as a third party or "Maximus"......It's just my ....Do it if you feel like you want the Service people to look at you and think your .

I wasn't trying to tell him to omit the 70-80 mph for ten minutes, but more of the "running it hard" part because that isn't running it hard at all.
