Hello,
I thought I had the random / intermittent engine cut outs solved. A scary problem to have in the first place...
Engine stops and dash lights go out, no power to start. Sometimes it would kick back on right away, other times a few seconds until I could use the starter or engine would fire if still coasting.
After tapping on the ICU and being able to recreate the problem in the driveway, I thought I had it nailed. Any time the problem surfaced (1-1.5 months), I would simply unplug and replug the ICU a few times and no more issues.
Now, the engine is cutting out but the only way I can get it going again is by using the starter. I don't think I am loosing anything but the engine now. I just was shaking and tapping the ICU in the driveway and the bike wouldn't cut off. I am thinking it could be an unrelated problem to the previous.
Similar to this thread and others but I wonder if it's my pickup coil.

any pointers appreciated. This topic is a difficult one to pick keywords to search for. If this is as common as it seems, I hope Triumph is doing something about it.
