Help, 3 times in the last 4 days my bike has just quit running. once at a stop light 2 times at 25 mph, all 3 times this was 2-4 min after a "cold start" temp around 60-70 degress after it quit it would not start in 1st gear but would turn over and easly start in neutral and after that ran fine. didn't do it again and immeadiatly I could start it in gear.  It acted as if I had hit the kill switch and going to neutral took it off for the rest of the ride. about the time the bike "told itself " it was warm
recent work installed dyno 3000 uninstalled a POT MOD a month n half ago, two weeks ago installed accel 7mm spark plug wires , solid core copper since the bike is fine before and after I dont have a clue what to look for.
Thank you

Sounds to me like it could be the sidestand switch.  Also check connections under the right side cover. Loose connections there have caused like problems.

I don't understand what you expect from those plug wires but they are not good for your ignition system. I think Honda doesn't like them, and they will not get you anything more from your motor.

I thought about the sideatand, but if the stand is down the bike won't turn over. mine does, just won't start til I go to neutrol. then it 's "fixed"

Do you still have the stock icm ? if so I would use that and see if bike works ok.  Just a thought.

I also agree with trying the stock icm, but about the wires I hope you are using the resistor ends with those wires they need the resistance. Both Honda and Dyna say that the wires have to have resistance. I use the Magnecore resistance wires that work very well. The other thing does the bike have a stock trigger wheel if not this could also be a problem with the dyna icm.
