WTF? She just died when I pulled in???
I just got done with my last class at my martial arts studio. Feeling pretty good close up shop and jump on the 00' 12 and take my short ride home. The bike seemed to be riding pretty good! I go to pull into my drive and she just dies. I hit the start and nothing (lights still on) but not a sound. I stop the bike and turn the key of and then on and then she starts. I give her a rev. then the lights flicker. It's completely dark outside so I just pull it into the garage. It seemed to be running ok at that point. But I'm not sure. I'm a comple newb when it comes to mechanics especially in the electrical area. Where would you guys start ?
Thanks in advance.

It's not that I think you're dumb, it's just that so much of what you know isn't true....

looked over the battery connects and it's ok . I then took a close look at the stator connections and it's all clean and no abnormal heat while running.
The PC is a total mystery to me! I have no clue on how to check it. Where do I go from here?
thanks for the advice
