	That happened to me on my 02. The most obvious place to look is the side stand switch which goes bad on these bikes. There is a procedure to bypass the switch, but still have the light on the dash go on when the side stand is down. If I find the link, I'll post it. Do you have any message on the clocks / guages when the bike cuts out? If so, that would point you in the right direction. Edited by sjamurath - 05 Jul 2010 at 22:11

	Not sure about the cutting out but reverting to kilometers on start was the battery on my previous mille, a new battery fixed the problem. The rev counter change up light would also go back to the running in rev limit of 6000 . Your bike should normally start first turn, not go four or five turns, thats when the dash tended to reset on my previous mille.

	From what I understand there could be many things causing the cutting off of the engine. I would check things in the following order: 0. Make sure battery is being charged properly 1. Side stand sensor (Do bypass mod) 2. Tip over sensor (under seat) 3. Ilde too low (try 1500 rpm) 4. Bad ground/earth or lose connection at clocks/dash or computer 5. TPS needs adjustment with CO levels set 6. bad map or chip I just did the side stand mod and took it for a short test ride and it seemed ok. I won't know for sure until I ride it more.
