Bike won't start! Rode to work now in the afternoon after doing an errand it stalled.

It a BMW R1200c 1998

So after completing the errand I started it up came out of the parking a few feet, the bike stuttered and shut down.

Has Gas, the battery and starter turn over, not in gear or with the side stand down.

In January as I was doing the oil leak issue I had the similar problem turned out to be the rotor with Hall effect gate I had installed wrong, but after correcting that bike had been fine.

Here is the post: http://www.chromeheads.org/cgi-bin/discus/discus.cgi?pg=next&topic=6&page=583201

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]Any ideas here... ?

If I can't fugure it out will just call CAA and work on it at home tonight or tomorrow....man gonna miss the nice ride home[/FONT]
 
How much riding have you got in this year? Any chance there was a bit of water in the tank that just made it through to the engine? (Quite unlikely assuming your commute in was more than a few minutes).

I've had been riding this bike once or twice every month even in January to March, since the weather has been great. I rode in today from Scarborough to Downtown Toronto and this happened around lunch time.
 
Shut off switch touched in error? Been there done that, took me a bit to figure out first time :)
 
Thanks but no, the shut off switch on this is opposite of ON and I've played with it a few time already trying to start her up.
