bike cutting out was created by oldkaws4ever
i was out to day on my 74 z1 900 and i went to open it up and the bike just cut out all of a sudden. i pulled over and moved the key a little bit and the instument lights and headlight and tail light all came on, and she fired right back up. then i went and got gas and rode about 10 or 15 miles and she died out again, but fired right back up. so if anybody can help me i would greatly appreciate it.

Sounds like you answered your own question? You might need a new ignition switch. A bunch on ebay...

OldKow, you might try WD-40 spray on switch innards if you are willing to go to all the trouble of accessing switch contacts, spray, reassemble and then take a chance on it not helping. Probably cheaper in the long run to buy new.
Sounds like you nailed it for sure Blue. Would not think any single circuit failure would kill everything as stated.Sounds like you answered your own question? You might need a new ignition switch. A bunch on ebay...
