There is a lot of valuable info and you can learn to diagnose and do things on your own, even if it's not on your own you can keep the dealership honest with more knowledge you retain.

also please do post on here when you get the bike back, I'm really interested in finding out what's wrong.

good luck Dr flash
thanks again i will post back once i have it figured out.

its was a short in my wiring. My springer front end was pinching the wires at my neck that was loosened when i had my head gasket changed. Killswitch, startswitch and ground were crushed. When bike was hot it would short the killswitch stalling the bike. Once it was cooled it would start.

Bad coils will heat up and break down. After they cool it will run again.
If you have an extra coil or friends with one swap the coil out and try it.
