Default engine quit in 3rd

Hey all,
I have a 2010 fatboy w/ 1014 miles on it when the engine quit pulling away from a light (thought i hit the kill switch but not so). Displayed no code, had electric, gas, oil and cranked but would not start. Set for 20 mts. then fired up. rode the last 15 miles home with no problem. (battery connection is good). Any insight would be appreciated. thanks

Sure is, they don't instill much confidence though. That's why I'm here. Thanks.

Warranty. Take it in and have them do a diagnostic check. Who cares about confidence. You should care about having them find the problem.
