Hey I have a 1995 Suzuki Katana 600. I was driveing it down the Highway the other day and all the sudden I just shut off on me. Now it made a loud BANG right as it shut off. The wierd think is I can put it in neutral and it runs great but as soon as I put it in gear everything shuts off. Dash lights, Head Light, Everything. Anyone know what it might be? If so any idea how much it might cost to fix?

Sounds like you've got an issue with the kickstand sensor. It's a small cylinder in the kickstand pivot area that has two wires running from it to your ECU. The sensor won't let your engine run unless the transmission is in neutral if it thinks the kickstand is down. It sounds like the sensor might be grounding out, which is causing the ECU to reset and shut everything down (dash lights, headlight going out). Not sure how much it would be to fix.
