got no suggestion on the mechanical problem, do for the break down. had a rear tire blow out on my volusia. Have progressive insurance with the roadside assistance. best $12.00 bucks I've ever spent. They towed my bike to my house because the mechanic I use was closed and came to my house the next day to take it to the shop. No charge. They reimbusrt me for the 1st tow as they had no affiliated wreckers were I broke down. No hassles at all.

My Savage does it. I found a crack in the vaccum line and replaced it, but its still doing it. I just switch to prime and ride on.

have experienced that a couple times - i agree: switch to PRI, keep on going - also i've had better luck clutching and hitting the starter than "coast starting"  to get it running again - basically same procedure as switching to reserve at hiway speeds

i haven't evaluated the vacuum lines yet, but probably should

check the terminal leads on your battery. my friend savage was cutting out on her, we found that the srew to the battery terminal on the right ahnd side had backed out. We ended up taping the lead to get her home.
