On my way to work today,
Everything was running fine was about 2 miles from my destination. Suddenly my motor dies without any warning.
On the weekend I was working on water proofing my bike. I had redone my wiring to make it warter proof so I think connection came loose I reconnected everything tonight, but I did not have time to test it.  |

if the wiring isnt the problem check to see if your fuel filter in the tank is plugged. It happened to be twice |

To die that suddenly it does sound like the wiring. Especially since that is what you touched last. Usually a fuel filter will have it fussing and sputtering for a bit before it dies. If it isn't the wiring then your CDI might be suspect. If you can check to see if you have a spark.

Possibly the spark plug wire came loose from the CDI or the Plug Cap.......

Ok gas is fine( gas (flow from the tank is the same as before), clutch seems tight, all wires are fine, I know my mix is good (Plug is brown) must be magnito or the coil< next i will have to test for spark  |

Remove the spark plug and reconnect it to the wire.
Get your rear wheel off the ground somehow.
Hold the side of the plug against the engine block and turn the pedals by hand (be sure your other hand is not too close to the spark plug gap).
