Hello All,
New owner, Stock 2017 R3 Roadster, ~130 miles on bike so far, a few short trips around town so far.
I was accelerating onto interstate entrance ramp in second gear when I lost all electrical. I pulled in clutch, hit starter, nothing, flipped kill switch a couple time, nothing, was coasting to a stop and electrical came back on. I noticed my gauges light up and saw the indicators cycle zero-max-zero like it does when you first turn on the key. I hit the starter and she fired back up, was still rolling so continued on my way without any further issue. The whole incident lasted maybe 3-5 seconds.
I know it wasn't the kickstand or kill switch because the gauges would still have been lit up which they were not. I search around for a bit but didn't find anything similar to rolling electrical outage. I don't think I lost battery connection because the time display was still correct, not sure if there is a micro battery that keeps clock running.
Any guidance is appreciated.
Thanks.
JR
