Momentary power loss
i have a 2010 fxdwg. a couple weeks ago my bike died out on my on the highway a few times. turns out the negative battery cable was loose. i tightened it and everything was fine until last weekend.
when cruising the bike has started to die out momentarily. if i'm moving or at a relatively high rpm when it happens it immediately turns back on (kind felt like a backfire or dirty/watery gas at first but it's not consistent enough to be bad gas). if i'm in neutral or coming to a stop it will die out and i have to restart it (generally no problem restarting it). this has happened maybe 20 times over the course of 70 miles in two days. last time i rode it and was about to park it in the garage the rpms shot up real high at idle for a few seconds then went back down. have read on here this could be bad battery connection or bad circuit breaker? any other suggestions on what things i should look at? |
Do your dash lights, speedo, light go out?
What stays on what goes out. |
not sure. my clock is still set but i'm too worried about keeping control of the bike when it happens to notice. odometer shoots towards 0, but i haven't noticed lights.

While good try to replicate the problem, wiggle the ignition switch, run switch, its not a bad idea to clean and dielectric connectors that you can get to, especially the ignition switch.
Check to see if you are getting codes, I think your bike is serial bus, so there might be a code. Intermittent electric problems are the worst to diagnose until they get worse. |
ok thanks going to look at it tonight. will repost if i diagnose the problem or find a fix.
