My 2012 FXDC recently started stalling at random times while driving. Starts and idles fine but sometimes stalls while moving, I lose power immediately. If I pull the clutch in the red circle light and oil light come on. After pulling over to the side I switch the kill switch and ignition off and then start it right back up. Sometimes the check engine light comes on and it starts rough. Sometimes it starts fine, no engine light.
Has 1500 miles. Battery is a month old, I checked the cables, tight. Fuses are not blown. Grounds were recently cleaned and tightened.
I love this bike, please help me figure this out so I dont have to worry about stalling in the middle of traffic anymore.
