I have a RE Thunderbird 350 and now-a-days sometimes my engine turns off while I am riding. Earlier, it used to happen once in a while when I used the Pass switch or the indicators.

From the last few days, the condition has become quite frequent and now the bike turns off in the middle of nowhere on its own. After which if I try to turn on any electrical switch, the ignition also goes off.

After keeping the bike idle for about a minute or so, the bike starts again.

Any idea what the problem might be would be of great help.

The main culprits would be your Battery or alternator. Try checking you alternator and battery. Check if alternator is supplying the desired currrent to the battery to get charged. Also the check the battery voltage if it managing to dischage the desired amount of current while using the accessory.

Additionally give a look on to rectifier - it rearly fails. Just in case :)

if you do have any extra fittings such as aux lights, headlight bulb and horns not supplied by RE. Kindly remove from circuit.

What I hate with new bike design is that all the bike electronics heavily depend on battery. If battery fails you are stranded, Unlike old bike you cant event push start it
