I was riding the motorcycle at a steady highway speed. I had been riding the motorcycle at a steady highway speed for 30 miles continuously. Engine cuts-out completely, with no warning. Motorycle rolls to a stop, I switch engine off, wait one minute, cycle start sequence, engine sometimes starts, sometimes doesn't. I avoided highway traffic with some difficulty, as the motorcycle slowed abruptly. I turned on the hazard lights . This has happened 8 times. Motorcycle is at dealership for repair. *Tr
