I was on my way to work as I am every day, 40 miles round trip with no problems, constant maintenance and care on my bike.
I pulled in the clutch lever to coast at a red light, got the green, still with some speed I noticed the engine stops, kinda odd as it should have been idling, and hasn't cut out mid idle before.
Go to dump the clutch and get her fired up again, still moving, dump the clutch and the rear wheel totally locks up, brings me to a skidding stop.
And here I am now having walked it the rest of the way to work, tried it a couple more times and same incident occurred. What is going on? My only guess is the clutch, gearing or flower nut, but I'm thrown off as to why this happened so suddenly with no forewarning sign.
Please help, I gotta get her back 20 miles tonight, but I am prepared with a backpack full of tools.
