    Mine died once on me in the dark middle of nowhere when i hit high beam .
    Turned out the high beam wire to the headlight had rubbed through and it took out the breaker and everything else with it.
    Put it on low beam when it reset and sussed it out in the daylight the next day

    far out after racking my brain for 2 days stripping tanks and rear guard strut off and following the wiring loom wire by wire cleaning plugs and connectors i think i found the issue the rear section of the wiring for the tail light was squashed between the strut and frame , everything seems to work normal now i striped and separated the 3 wires. now to find my soldering iron and fingers crossed that's it.
