bike shuts off
hi guys and thanks in advance for any info. I have 07 super glide se slip ons, vo2 intake and xieds. Had a prob last year with fuel pump not priming replace it still prob was intermittent. Trying to trouble shoot prob and bike drains battery. I also replaced both relays in the fuse panel but to no avail. A friend of mine seems to think that it could be a problem with with the ignition (key portion on the neck). Also last year the key was hard to turn so is sprayed it down with wd40, the key moves freely know.

I've heard others say to also check where the negative cable grounds to the motor/frame because they come loose from there too.

The negative ground on my bike was corroded, cleaned and use never seeze to keep a good connection.
The never seeze is a trick we used in the garage with fuel tank grounds.
You know how hard it is to clean never seeze, stays there and keeps good contact through the years.
