Hey guys,
Wanted to jump over here and see if anyone has ever seen this. 1997 Sporster 1200 Custom. Wife pulled it out today, (ran ok day before ) and turned on key, "click" dead. Pulled seat wiggled , jiggled wires. Ignition would power back up and do the same thing. Narrowed it down to (before it got dark) that when I pushed down on the metal strap that holds the battery, it was ok. Tightened down strap and it was fine. Ran it around all over, seems ok . ( I know this is not right, but it worked) figured I would post up and see if someone else has seen this before I start tearing it apart. Thanks, Brian.
