2008 FXDL dies red key light comes on
I went out for lunch on the way back to work my bike died 50 times and the red key light would come on I never had to re start it it would just pick back u like nothing was wrong..... kind of like running out of gas....but it has gas (1/4of tank) the "6" gear light even came on one time. This is my first fuel injected key fob crap bike I have ever owned thanks in advance for any help

It dies completely but I've been rolling when it dies so it starts back up when it dies I pull the clutch in the gauges go limp key light comes on and it starts back up... Like it was running out of gas on a carb bike...... It's got fuel so idk

I went to start it again and it clicked and all the lights went dead I pulled the battery cover off (I put a new deka battery in a few days ago) and tightened the post....everything starts fine haven't rode it yet though..... Do y'all use the brass spacers that come with the battery. I never have before but I feel this bike might need them

So you're saying this problem started after your replaced the battery? If that's the case, you likely had a loose battery connection.
Other thing that came to mind was the system relay...had this same thing happen to me with a Sporty once & that was the problem.

Ya I've rode it a few times with no issues I didn't use the brass washers cause I thought they would stick out to far and touch the battery cover I'm gonna put them on and give it a shot
