Default 1999 Roadking Police edition, stalling

Hello, I have a 1999 Roadking. Recently, it has decided to give me a unpredictable issue. With no warning, symptom or reason, coming to a stop, i pull clutch in and engine shuts off. when this happens i still have power. When i try and restart, it backfires, pops and shutters. After a few minutes it fires and runs perfect for a undetermined amount of time. I have tried to reproduce it in garage at idle, no luck, seems to happen after about 15 mins on bike.

any help or direction would be very helpful.


Thank you,

Sounds like a faulty crank position sensor. It is located on forward engine case.

Start with the position sensor.

Odds are it's the ignition module dying.

If it's injected try cleaning the air bleeds in the intake. Pull a/c off and at 2 and 10 position will be the bleeds. I use map sensor cleaner and cycle ignition off and on 2 or 3 times while spraying in them. Mine will stall at a stop when these get dirty.
