I was on the interstate going 68 MPH when my motorcycle RPM's stopped working and turned to zero. I lost power suddenly after bike just shut off in the left lane. I had to push bike across moving traffic to get to the right side of road with shoulder to stop. Bike was towed to dealer and they say the rectifier was shot and this is a common thing on 06-07 gsxr 600/750 and has been going on for along time. When the rectifier failed this caused discharge of the battery and lead to engine stalling. I almost lost my life when bike shut down with no warning in the fast lane of interstate. No battery light warning or anything just abandoned.
