Strange it doesn't have any other electrical problems and it cranks over every time and both starter and batter seem strong.My W-650 would do this, now and then. It turned out to be a loose battery connection. Just a thought

I've had the same problem last year, after having put on a full open air filter. This caused the mixture to be too lean, because of the big amount of air coming from said filter.
So I had to turn 3 times counterclockwise the mixture screw of the carburetor. And now she goes like a dream!

- May 24, 2020, 16:30:54 PMI've got an 05 Drifter and I'm having trouble with it cutting out while driving down the road. It did it one time a few years ago on the highway and I just coasted to the shoulder checked fuel, etc.. and then it just started right up and never did it again until now.
I'll be riding along and then it feels like someone flipped the kill switch. Sometimes I can restart before coasting to a stop and so far it starts right back up. It's got gas. Tried moving the petcock into different positions, still doing it. It died 7 times on an otherwise 20 minute ride. Each time restarting every time.
Got to my destination and on the ride home it never hiccuped once.
Thinking bad coil?
