Intermittent electrical problem
This morning I rode my 06 Wide Glide to work without issue, but I was the first one in and had to stop to open the gate. Embarrassingly, I stalled it before I shut it off, and when I got back on to ride to my parking spot the bike wouldn't start. At first, it just cranked, but then I lost all electrical. The dash lights, headlights, and everything went dark. Of course it wouldn't crank at this point. I pushed it into the parking lot, and when I got it in my spot the electrical was back on line. I hit the starter and it fired right up. About fifteen minutes later I tried it again and it started right up again.
I am thinking I must have a losse battery connection or a bad ground, but I am new to Harleys, so I thought I'd see what you all think. I have manual, but it is at home. Anything I can check before I leave this evening? (I have some tools here). Thanks.

Every time my bike acts funny like that it has something to do with a the neg. battery cable. Try removing the neg. cable from the battery and reinstalling, a little blue loctite won't hurt.

Same with me, tightened cable post with socket instead of screwdriver. No problems since.
