Phil,
Sounds like you may have gotten one of those ECU hic-o-burps. Same sort
of thing happened to me a few weeks and several hundred miles ago. On
the commute home the Blue Devil died on me three separate times while
coming up to a stop sign/light. After the third time I stopped, shut
everything down, and got on my knees to see if anything looked out of
the ordinary. I prayed to the motorcycle gods while I was down there and
lit up a cigarette in burnt offering. It started back up without
incident and I continued home. It didn't die again and the problem has
not recurred since then.
A burnt offering to the motorcycle gods would hurt either. Besides,
paganism can be fun!
