Again, defiantly check the battery connections since you changed it JUST 100 miles ago.
My left heal rests on the "folded" kick stand so I've tested how far it's got to travel before the "switch" kills the engine, and it's around half way down. Could be different for your Wing though.

Apologies, SeaSteve...not trying to suggest that Guttooth not to check the battery. It's still a good thing to do...was just questioning other possible items/safeties that can kill the engine.
The really, really good news is that I don't think Guttooth is looking at an oil-related failure or oil starvation (which could be super expensive).
I so wish we could "like" posts on this forum. I would have done that to your post AND still posted what I did. Shorthand for saying, you'r not stepping on my toes I just think the battery change is the original cause.Originally Posted by rdbonds

If it happens again I would lean towards the crank position sensor . I seem to remember a few early F6Bs and 12 up Wings that had crank position sensor failures. Any one remember what the code was?
Sorcerer - For the MIL blink codes? Looks like 18 for camshaft sensor, 19 for ignition pulse sensor.

Did the bike sit for a long period of time before you bought it? I’ve never had this problem with my wing but my 2008 Boulevard would stall while decelerating. Turns out I wasn’t riding much and the ethanol gas began to break down and I had water in my tank. Now I always make sure to use non-ethanol gas with a stabilizer when I store the bike for the winter or when I know it’s going to sit for long periods of time.
Good luck and ride safe!
Crank sensor should throw a 19 flashes code (1 long flash = 10 + 9 shorts =19). It was hard to start a few times, turn the key off, back on, it would start. I finally spotted the code after a few times & got it fixed, no problem since. Be sure to look for the amber flashing code light. There's a thread on here as to how to read the codes..... I love these computers, they're so much smarter than I am ..LOL
