You might try looking at where the wiring harness goes down the steering column. There are a couple of wiring harness plugs there that will kill the machine if the come unplugged. It is a tight fit for those wires and they bind.

Also, look for any shorts while your there. My 650 did the same thing. There was a little burr from the welding on the steering shaft that wore through some of the wires and caused it to die. Took the plastics loose and found it. A little filing and elec tape...good to go!
