made it to the vancouver airport cargo building so now it is up to air can to deliver the bike to frankfurt I will be seating just above it for 9 hrs and some....................
however while riding from 50 miles out of vancouver the gps started to flash a message that outside power to the display was lost ...then power came back and forth till the airport however 3 miles from the cargo office I stopped to ask direction so I shut down the motor when I turned the key back on after the sweep the start button was DEAD ...no response like no power to the startmotor ...I shook the bike and rolled it three feet and I was able to start I am scratching my head has to be a connection somewhere and if I cannot get out of frankfurt airport it is going to be rather painful situation any idea for a quick look over when I pick it up ...would hate to start a trip like this
 
Nothing like that to shake one's confidence in the machine. Hope someone comes along quickly, and help you get sorted.

So envious of your ability and willingness to go over there - and wish you a wonderful trip.

Travelog and photos, PLEASE.
 
Kinda sounds like the ignition switch thing I have read about many times. Hoping that is not the case!
 
Check all your relevant fuses and relays, try wiggling when you get it started and see if that causes the cutout.

Check regulator plugs are not loose and that the bike is charging.

Try cycling clutch and kickstand cutout switches. Also check their electrical systems are not cut, loose or corroded etc. If not loose or damaged visually spray with electrical cleaner, separate and clean etc.

Wiggle or operate them when you get it started and see if that causes the cutout.

Corroded starter motor cables connectors or starter solenoid
