Default 2014 Heritage Softail Classic Start Issues

My wife's HSC sometimes will not start. Turning it back off and on again with key and putting in N seems to be the cure but still seems curious. Anyone else have this issue or am I missing the obvious?

Haven't heard of this issue, but with it being a 2014, I'd take it back to the dealer and let them figure it out.

I had the same problem with my 2012 the safety switch in the clutch lever was bad and only worked some of the time.

Unless it's bad gas, ie; not premium of higher ethanol dosage. Weak battery or clutch cable adjustment. I'd consider checkin the electrics. Start by checkin battery connects.

It should be under warrantee. Go to dealer.

Like others said, take it to the dealer while it is under warranty. If you find out it is a bad part, are you going to buy it yourself or let the dealer replace it at no charge?

Thanks for the replies. Definitely will take to dealer. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

My 02 Springer did this, it was a loose ignition switch. I could wiggle the switch and turn off the bike. since yours in under warranty let the service department figure it out though.
