So just bought the bike from the original owner 18800 miles and I was riding it and it just cut off. Pulled to the side of the road and turned the key off and back on and it started right up. Later on another ride the same thing I noticed the bike had no electrical power then it came back and started right up. I noticed the radio clock had reset the time so I know I lost all electrical power. It has done this a few times can you all help me out with this?

 

Loose battery connection?

 

Clean and inspect all battery connections. Tighten the battery terminals. Check the ground at the frame and the + battery cable at the starter. You could charge your battery and take it in to an auto parts store to have it load tested. It really sounds like battery connections loose or corroded.

Always start with the simple stuff first.

 

Change main circuit breaker near battery.

 

Thanks for the fast reply! I'll check these first and see what I find, I hope it is a simple as this!!!

 

Is this a dealer part? (Main Circuit Breaker)

 

Yes looks like this. That one came from my dad he carried for many miles as spare it looks like.

 

Circuit Breaker...should be a 50 Amp and watch what connector goes to which end too.
Then clean the wires to and from the battery to ground and to the positive side or the other way around.
It is a scarey ride when it happens along the Interstate at speed and all you hear is a pop and then nothing till you flash it up again.

Looking in the OEM Parts Finder don't see it did a search nothing on the Ronnie's Harley Davidson

 

Thanks Yes it can be scary! Thought what happens if it does this when pulling out into traffic!!!
