OK, a couple days ago i was riding around the block fine an then all of sudden my e-ton jus cuts off on me, I was like damn thats weird, then i just clicked the electric start and it cut right back on no problems the rest of the mile ride home. Then yesterday, i was riding and it cut off like 3 times on me, but again i jus hit the electric start and it came right back on. i figured it was just the gas because it was almost on E. Then today i was just riding around the block to my friends and it cut off 3 times and its only 1/4 mile to get there.(Still hadn't put more gas in). So i get home after it had cut off twice more and put gas in. Then i decidedto ride up the street to see if gas was indeed the problem and wouldnt you know it almost cut off again but i manged to keep it on. So i ride another 2 miles and it cuts off again. I was so mad at that point i just turned around and went home with no more problems. I feel it did alot better on the cut offs when i put gas in it but im woundering what else could possibly be wrong. I've raked my brain about what it could possibly be, and im just lost. Has Anyone else had this problem? What did you do 2 fix it?

maybe your idle is set to low. What rpm is it at when its idling. It also could be a spark plug.

If it's just the idle being set low, it should be fairly obvious. The engine speed would slow when you come to a stop and then it would sputter out.
Check the routing of your fuel lines. Make sure they are a steady downhill path. If you have high spots in the lines you can get air pockets that can cause what you describe.

If you have a side stand, some bikes have a disable switch that works when the stand is down. These can cause problems sometimes.

Turn the big screw with the spring under it clockwise to increase idle speed. The other recessed screw adjusts the air getting to your idle or low speed circuit. Turn it either way til you get the smoothest fastest idle with the best throttle response off idle. Don't turn it out over about 3 1/2 complete revolutions from completely shut or it may vibrate out as you ride.
