I've got a 2012 Puma Falcon 150 with 900 miles on it. Last week while riding it to work it just quit like you turned off the key. I stopped and it started right back up. About 2 blocks on down the street, it did the same thing and started right back up.
Well today coming home at 5pm, about 80deg out, after riding about 4 miles, it quit again but this time would not start back up. Walked it over to a large parking lot and waited for my wife to come get me. Tried to start it until she got there (about 30 min) but would turn over fine but not start. I left and went and rented a trailer to bring it home and when I got back to load it up (about 1hr 15min when it 1st quit), it started right up.
I'm at a loss. Don't know where to look. Bike is all stock. It's still under warranty but like most places if it's not doing it now, they can't fix it. I kind of wished it would have not started up so they could diagnose it. Any ideas what to check or look for?
Thanks, John

Could just be it needs the valves adjusted, appears to only quit after it runs and gets hot. Adjust the valves to .004 inchs each. Alleyoop

If not valves, possible ignition trigger going bad? Mine did something similar a couple years ago. 900 miles seems low for it though

I agree with Alley. Time to adjust the valves.
