Default Engine Shuts Off

I have a 2005 SE Fatboy. Recently it seems a while after driving it will shut off. I can turn it on and off again and it starts up. When it starts to do this, if i keep giving it throttle it will be fine. No performance issues other than the shut off. I pulled the codes and got the following:

P0261 Front Injector Open
P0263 Rear Injector Open

Any thoughts. I am wondering if I have a battery going bad and it is just because the battery is draining while I am riding. I always keep it on a tender but have not in a few weeks. it has also been gastly hot here (100 every day). I am going to check connections when I get home but wanted to get some opinions.

Jeff

It means your front & rear cylinder injectors voltage is low. I would

1. load test your battery
2. verify charging from stator & vr
3. check fuel injector wires

I'm having the same problem. Did you find the solution? How did you read the codes?
