howdy all! new to the forum (first post) and to bikes/modding in general. been riding an 09 nightster for about 2 months now and am absolutely addicted. mods so far include forward controls, biltwell keystone Z bars, 2" tank lift, coil/ignition relocate, and a wire tuck.

after completing the tank lift/wire tuck last week i'm having two seemingly random problems.

1. about 1/4 of the times when i'm downshifting into first gear as i come to a stop, the bike will simply die.

i thought this might somehow be related to a shortage of fuel delivery because of the tank lift, but it seems to do it intermittently even when i have a full tank of gas. thoughts?

2. my speedo/odometer intermittently do not work. half the time they're fine, the other half the time they register no increase in speed/mileage.

i assume this second issue is related to a wire that has pulled loose in its connector, or perhaps one of the connectors was not clipped back together all the way after i finished untangling the mess of "spaghetti" under the tank. at any rate, i don't really know what i'm looking at when i lift up the tank (which connection might be responsible) and i can't test if the speedometer/odometer begin reading again without actually riding the bike.

HELP!

 

I just did my coil relocation and tank lift. I have the exact same issues. I need help as well!

 

Id check and clean all your connectors. Had a tank lift since 2013

 

Will do that for sure! Thx
