I was on my 87 FJ1100 going up the road and it just quit running. It sounded like I had just turned the ignition off (still turning over but no spark) now when I try to start the bike it won't even try to turn over it just lights up the Oil Level light. I think its probably some sort of electrical problem or it may just be a sensor switch that got thrown somehow but I cant figure it out. Need help on this one

That sounds like the stop/run switch on the rh pod to me?

FJZ1 1200 - It'll do me just fine.
Timing has much to do with the success of a rain dance.

Open up the right hand switch assy and spray it with contact cleaner.  I had that problem a year or so ago and that cured it.  Not a problem since.
