The bike was on the highway in 4th gear traveling at about 60mph and the engine cut out. There were no warning lights that appeared on the dash or any other apparent indication of a fault on the bike. I was able to coast to the side of the road but the engine would not restart. I then exercised all of the switches: the turn signal, the high beam, the side stand, the clutch, both break pedals, the LED light switch, the cruise control, and the heated grips but the bike would still not restart. I turned the ignition off for 2-3 minutes and was able to turn it back on and get the bike restarted. I drove for another mile and the same issue happened again but I was not able to get the bike restarted. I checked the connections that I had access to: fuses, hand controls, tip over sensor and they all seemed to be fully seated. After about 15 minutes, the bike started again with no reasonable information as to what could have been the reason.
