Bike Stopped.
I am wondering if someone can help me with an issue with my 2005 FXDC Harley Davidson Dyna, It is a Carburetored Model, I was riding along and about 20 minutes into the ride the bike just cut out and would not start. I hope that there is some one that can suggest what I can do to sort this issue out.

There's so many things that could cause that, from a simple "oops I hit the kill switch" to "wow my motor's blown". I'd suggest start with easy stuff, like the kill switch and if you have enough gas. Anything more complicated is going to need troubleshooting. There's only 4 things an engine needs to run....air, fuel, spark and compression. A service manual helps a LOT. Good luck and let us know what you found.

Check to see that the carb is getting gas. With the air filter cove off, you should be able to see fuel spray into the carb when you twist the throttle. If no gas check the vacuum line to the petcock. Also you can loosen the gas cap IF the tank is not venting.
Check for spark at the plugs.
Check all fuses.
