Power/No Power (no ignition, radio, etc)
I have a strange issue with power to the bike. Sometimes I turn the key on and I get power, other times, nothing. At least that's how it started. When I got power, I was able to start the bike and ride it no problem.
But today, while I was riding - suddenly, no power. Bike completely shut down, radio, engine, etc. Nothing. I flipped the ignition switch a few times and finally got power back. Started and rode again. Lost power a second time and drove the bike home.
On the way, I rode over as many "bumpy" surfaces I could find to see if something was loose and causing intermittent problems, but no. When I pulled in the garage, I jiggled the ignition switch in every direction, no problems.
Not sure if this might be a relay, ECM issue, ignition cluster problem or other - would like to know where I should start.
By the way, battery is fully charged and charging system is working. Battery about 1 yr old extra capacity. Bike is 2015 FLTRUSE (CVO RG Ultra)

Going back about 6 months ago, the bike was running fine, but then I hadn't used it in a few months. When I went to start it, it gave me trouble (no power) a few times but then started and ran fine. Bike had been on a trickle charge the whole time and battery was charged up.
So, I thought maybe changing the battery in the FOB might have something to do with this issue and replaced it. At 1st I thought that might have fixed the issue - but no.
Every now and then, I'd have to rock the ignition switch 5-6 times to get the power to come on, but once it powered up the bike ran fine..... until yesterday.
Yesterday, when I was able to get it running - the bike died several times. I had not used any switches on the right handlebar multi switch (directional, etc). Power went completely dead. Engine, gauges, radio - everything. Rocking the run/stop switch got me going again for a while, then parked the bike for a bit. When I restarted it, it ran about 5 mins and then completely died again. I was able to start it once more and drive it home (about 25 min ride to the house).
No changes at all to the bike have been made recently.
I haven't been able to pull the codes as I'm not sure how to do this on the CVO. There is no "ignition switch" that I am aware of and all instructions I've read talk about a combination of ignition switch, reset odometer switch and run/stop switch. I tried holding the ODO switch down and going to run mode, but that didn't work.
Thanks for helping.
