I recently (finally) stiffened my front and rear suspension. It rides a lot better, not like a cadillac anymore. I feel the bike respond better. Now I'm running across a strange issue. Whenever I hit a bump with enough speed (say a speedbump or a construction area where the road is unlevel and I hit it perpendicular) the bike cuts off. Lights still on, but no engine power. I try to crank it and it just cranks. Then if I turn the ignition off then on again, it'll start up no problem. I first noticed this when I came down from a tiny wheelie (maybe 4 inches off the ground), but then noticed it twice on speed bumps in a mall parking lot, and then at an intersection where the cross road had just been paved (thus it was a bump). All I have connected electrically are an Internatrix alarm that's been on there for about 4-5 months, and two LED lights up on the front fairing. These cannot be the cause, I am sure of that. So what could be doing making this happen? Is there some sort of sensor that if the bike's forks compress too much or with too much impulse that it shuts the bike off? I've heard of a sensor that cuts the bike off in case of a flip-over, could this be being triggered somehow??
FYI, it's an '06 ZZR600 I've had new since mid-January.
