Took the bike out today and it started backfiring and just running rough.I noticed the engine light come on and then flash off so I decided to head home and it started surging and backfiring quite a bit. The instrument display kept flashing on and off then the bike died. I was only half a mile away from home so I decided to push it back. Tried starting it a couple times and after a couple attempts it would start but when I put it in gear, it died again. I'm new to the bike world so this is a bit puzzling to me. Is it something electrical?

Yeah, I'm thinking it's something with the charging system. Still has a half tank of gas so it's not out of fuel. Bike has been sitting for the past couple weeks without me on it. Ran for about 5 miles today fine before it started acting up. When I saw the instrument cluster start resetting itself, started thinking something electrical.
