Default Bike cut out
03 FatBoy was pulling up to a light when bike stalled. I pulled up on the side walk switched off the ignition turned it back to run and it fired up. Rode twice since with no problems. Battery is reading 12.90 off and 14.45 running. I also made sure that I hadn't inadvertently hit the kill switch and it was down. Anyone have any ideas? Bike is injected with manual compression releases and a mild 95 in build from the PO.

Thanks.

Seem to be lots of issues with the ignition switch itself. Perhaps a good cleaning of the contacts and inspection. While you're at it make sure all your grounds are clean and tight.

Thanks, the kill switch on the bars or the one on the tank or both?

Thanks again.
