Yesterday I was riding my BV3 50 and came to a sudden stop, the engine made a loud noise and turned off immediately. Oil light turned on, bike started right away and everything seemed normal. No warning lights were on after that fail. I did an oil change last month and everything looks normal, when I turn the bike ignition on all the warning lights are on…when I start it they all go away. Should I be concerned? What was that loud noise?

That's what I'm thinking, it sounds and runs fine but I'm worried that I'll do more damage if I ride it. I'm pretty handy but this is out of my wheel house. I don't know what to do next.

HT Lead (aka spark plug cap)? My BV350 acted similarly.

I checked the boot, looks new! There's only 3k miles so I'm stumped.
