I went to do a simple sparkplug change in the hole switched them out . And here me I did everything right I took it out put non sieze on it put it back in tight .tightened it then tightened it 1/3 tighter put gas back in it and even gapped it to 0.8 .and after that I drove it around town and it shut off on me in 5 th gear and continued to do it for the rest of the night .

Had you ridden the bike in the same fashion previous to replacing the plug? if not, the issue could be entirely unrelated and was present before the change.
