Dyna wouldn't start.
Has anyone had this problem and know the solution. I have a 2012 Harley Super Glide. Yesterday I was riding and I stopped somewhere and when I went to start my bike the battery dropped to about 2 volts I checked the connections and they were good. I tried it again and it started. I load tested the battery and tested the voltage regulator all good. Anyone have any ideas?

How did you determine the battery dropped to "about 2 volts"? I doubt such a battery could subsequently start the bike, so I'm guessing that's not what really happened. Describe exactly what happened the first time you tried to start it.

I have a voltmeter on my bike. I found the negative terminal wire terminals where loose the bolt was stripped I tapped it out and put a new bolt in. I wiggled the wire around and started it many times. I think I fixed it if not I'll let you know.

Anytime I'm working in the area of my battery I'll clean all the connections and I use blue loctite on the threads of the bolt keeping the loctite away from the cable eyes and batt. posts.
