THE ENGINE DO NOT START AND STALL WHILE RIDING. (STARTER MAGNETIC SWITCH FAILURE)

FOUR MILE FROM HOME ON FREEWAY 405 SOUTH AS I WAS RIDING ABOUT 55 MPH AND SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE ENGINE SHUT OFF CAUSING THE BIKE TO STALLED ON A BUSY FREEWAY AND ALMOST GOT RAN OVER BY FAST COMING TRAFFIC. UNABLE TO BUMP START IN GEARS I HAVE TO COAST THE BIKE TO A NARROW EMERGENCY LANE. TRY TO RESTART THE BIKE BUT WITHOUT SUCCESS. TOW THE BIKE HOME AND RECHARGE OVER NIGHT AND CHECK OIL, AIR AND PLUG THEY ARE FINE. START THE BIKE AND TEST RODE AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE BIKE RAN FINE WITH THROTTLE OPEN BUT WOULD SHUT DOWN AGAIN WHEN SHIFTING. I FOUND THIS PROBLEM IS AN SAFE AND HOPE HONDA HAVE A SOLUTION BEFORE SOMEONE GET HURT OR KILL.
