died in the driveway

chink1957:
My 1977 honda cb750f supersport died in the driveway of my sister's house after starting without incident.  I checked fuses and changed but to no avail.  Battery is relatively new.  I am flummoxed by situation.  Any input or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Basic checks to start with:

1. Kill switch nudged (or shorting out)?
2. Remove a plug - is it wet?
3. Do you get a spark on the removed plug when held against the cylinder head?

I'm assuming that the engine turns over on the starter?

Bryanj:
If it got the ignition switch between the clocks make sure the multi plug is still in and the switch bottom hasny fallen off

PMK:
Mine died after starting well for ages.

Is there a rattle from the kickstart side?

Mine was the rotor on the end of the crank had come adrift.

It's on the kick start side under the cover at the front held by 2 screws.

Check there

K2-K6:
Does it do anything  i.e. ignition light and starter motor or is it totally dead.

Try "flicking" the ignition key on and of to see if contacts are not making, you amy see a flicker if this is the prob Better at night as you can see any response in the dark.
