Engine shuts down
05 Fatboy with K&N, Screamin Eagle II slip ons and a PC3.
Happened a couple of times. Riding down the road and the engine shuts down with no warning. Lights are all working, starter button does nothing. Pull over, cycle the kill switch and ignition. Starts right up with no problem.
Any thoughts?

Check the ground wire..
then make sure both bolts on the battery cables are tight.
One other a wrench did on mine was take the ecu apart, wait 30 sec or so and reconnect.
mine ended up being loose bolts on the battery.

I have a 2000 Fatboy and went thru the same issue this summer. It would cut out when riding and would restart after cycling the ignition switch. My issue turned out to be broken wiring and a bad bank angle sensor. I think the newer bikes have the BAS built into the turn signal units and I don't know if they are an issue, but if the lights are still on and it starts after cycling the switch, I would look there after checking all your grounds.
