2000 sporty cutting out
My 2000 883XLH while cruising at about 60mph abrubtly stops running as if 1. electrical no spark present to ignite boom-pop in cylinders or 2. carb no fuel being delivered. This incident has occured 2 times on the road and 2 time sitting at the stop light. Always cranked back up......till yesterday when it stranded me and after repeated attempts to crank after turning over and over and......I called for help and they brought my trailer. Fuel filter is clean, petcock is operable and original, smell of fuel is present during crank attempts. Oh yeah, when I got it home it cranked up so I drove it off the trailer. Problem is intermittent. Help, Thanks in advance!

My 2000 Sporty did exactly the same thing. It was the ignition module. It's under the round cover at the right end of the crank. The heat gets to them eventually. For a couple of weeks I rode with the cover off and a can of "Freeze-It". It would die, I'd cool off the module and all would be fine for awhile. BTW, if it is the module it gets worse quickly.

But I've also had about the same issue when my vacuum hose dry-rotted to the VOES.

Maybe consider waiting for a cold day and let bike idle for a few minutes while you wiggle every wire hard to check for a bad connection.BOTH Battery cables at BOTH ends should be checked. Sometimes using a rubber hammer to tap various areas of the bike causing a vibration helps to isolate an "area" of concern.
