Today I mounted a Garmin III+ on my KLR 650 and it worked flawlessly
for the first 2 hours of riding. Then it shut down for no apparent
reason. I turned it on 3 or 4 times, but it shut down each time just
after hooking up to the satelites.
Anyone have any ideas?

Dead batteries - or if using power connector broken connection in line
somewhere.

It is possible that vibration has damaged the GPS.
What kind of mount did you use?

It is thin plastic, and the stress put on the seam between the top of
the window and the fabric by stuffing the bag. My stock window lasted
a year before it let go.
