Just checked the valves on my GTS and was riding to Sam's with the wife on her BV250. Halfway home with my bike loaded with stuff, the bike just died going 40mph. WTF so I coasted off the road into a parking lot to take a look. Went thru the fuses and nothing. Then while standing there looking down at the engine I spotted the problem. Spark plug wire came off and was just laying here. Popped that puppy back on and off we went. It was a wonderful day after that Laughing emoticon

when the gts first came out, there were about 10 threads a week about this subject, so, you're not alone in experiencing this problem.
