Just saw one...on a trailer off Hwy 1 near Half Moon Bay. Almost turned around but it's cold, raining, and I'm starving. Anybody here?

Yo Hotbrakes. Thanks for calling. Good to talk with you.
Don't hesitate to call if you need any assist at all.
I can probably get you guys out of there if AAA fails or takes too long.
Keep me updated bro.

Damn wish I had spun around to chat but we were anxious to get out of that drizzle and get some food.
Got it towed to Cycle West in Petaluma and grabbed a hotel for the night.
Symptoms-
05 VFR 800 51,000 miles
It "sneezed" 4-5 times today. By sneeze I mean I heard what sounded like pressure releasing from somewhere within combined with a momentary loss of power. Each instance occurred at varied speeds from stopped to highway. No lights, no other abnormalities.
Turned on ignition, cranked over a couple times while slowing down and all lights dimmed rather quickly as if something just depleted all the juice. Gave her a couple push starts to no avail. Hooked it up to a battery tender for 20-30 minutes off my wife's bike while waiting for tow and got full power back in battery. She cranked great for 5-10 seconds, fuel pump kicked on and everything, but no ignition and power began to fade.
Battery is a three week old Shorai. Only electrical mods besides a few farkles are the wiring harness recall. All other components are original.
So, some pressure releasing sounds earlier, cranks over but quickly loses power and doesn't fire up.
4000 miles from home too, right at the halfway point of a 35 day cross country trip. At least we got some laps at Laguna today...
