Bike shuts off while riding
I took my newly acquired HD FXSTB Night Train '07 for the first ride today. After circa 10-15 minutes onwards to our second stop the bike blasts like a shotgun once and then shuts off. Pulled over to the side and turned the ignition on/off but all electronics were out.
Upon checking the cables and circuits on the battery we discovered that the terminals (plus side) were a bit loose just a little. Tightened them by hand and then we rode on to my garage to fetch a key to tighten it properly. After that we rode circa 2 hours in total without any disturbances.
Has anyone else experienced this and could it be that it only had to do with the slightly loose terminals? It seems a bit to far-fetched to me since they still had contact with the battery. I've just started riding so my bike experience and knowledge is quite scarce.
