All 9- VFR800 - the engine just dies on me at random intervals - is it electrically related? Hi VFR99er Would you believe that it was just the battery?

- VFR800 - the engine just dies on me at random intervals - is it electrically related? Hi VFRD Can you help? I have a wonderful 1999 VFR 800 which I love.
