Stalled

Did it get too hot by any chance? That could happen, if you had a lot stop and go and kept the enginge running idle.

There is an automatic switch off to prevent damages.

Probably unrelated but my CB did something similar last year. The engine stalled while I was waiting for the traffic signal on the freeway on-ramp to turn green. I managed to get the bike restarted but it was lugging terribly and wouldn't pull any rpm's. It felt like it was flooding. I entered the freeway and managed to get up to about 40 mph and just rode at that speed in the right lane until my exit came up 15 minutes later. The bike simply wouldn't clear out or run properly, and even holding 40 mph seemed lucky. Got home, parked it, and all was fine the next day. I never found out what happened.

This is why I change the batteries on my bikes every 3 years and on our cars every 4 years . Just for peace of mind.

I am no mechanic but I would wager your negative terminal needs tightening. Your symptoms describe same issue I had with a VTX.

I'm with Ole on this one, sounds ground related.

My 14 STD did the same thing. Hard to start, I also got a check engine light. My battery was only 1.5 years old. I bought a lithium battery off eBay, haven't had a problem sence.

That morning I was in a lot of stop-n-go traffic. I don't think the bike overheated but it's a possibility; twas a warm morning.

I think I'll replace my batt soon but before then, I'll tighten the leads.

I would just go ahead and replace the battery. The batteries these days when they go kaput, they just go. I ride a 2013 standard and changed it out. Went to start it one day and not even a click. Put in a new one ..... and good to go!
