    I rode my 08 this morning for around 6 miles no problem, turned her off for a few minutes then she wouldn't start, it was like the battery was dead. She then kicked back into life so off I went, 10 miles later the EML and HISS light came on and she shut down. Again there was nothing on the dash, like the battery was dead.
    I left the ignition on and I was about to call the RAC and she came back to life, started and rode no problem.

    Ant help before I lose my patience

    I don't know of anything blade-specific, but I'd be looking for a loose or corroded electrical connector or fuse - a bit of a witch hunt I'm afraid.

    I've fitted a motobatt so hopefully that cures it
