Okay so I just bought my first gsx and I'm driving it home and it just shuts off on me. The engine sounds fine, everything seems okay and it turns on and runs but randomly when I an driving it just shuts off on me and I have to struggle to pull the car over. It turns right back on fine and goes again but it keeps happening.. Any idea what's up with it or what i can do?
 
Any lights pop on before it's going to happen. Potentially the alternator is going out.
 
Does it have any aftermarket mods at all or is it a stock car? Give us a run down of what the car has done to it and we will go from there.
 
Make sure your battery is tied down and the + post isn't touching metal (like it would do if not tied down and car accelerates or brakes so post touches hood or cross bar). Also make sure you have an insulator on the + post terminal.
 
More information, detailed information, is needed before you'll obtain a proper amount of advice that will actually help you. We need to know EXACTLY what happenes, what you feel, what you see, before we can actually help you. As you can see, you're getting advice left and right telling you to check various things. Until we know exactly what's going on, mos tof this information is going to be worthless and likely have you running around in circles.

Detals.
