Weird electric problem

So the past two days i go to turn on the bike and it's as if there is no power. Then after a minute or two it will work perfectly fine. Loose connection somewhere or something else I should be looking for? Bike is a 1993 883 sport sportster.

I would check your battery connections. Sometimes they can vibrate themselves loose and cause intermittent power loss.

As been said over and over again, almost every time an electrical issue comes along. Check both ends of both battery cables and check for corrosion on all of the fuses and relay terminals and sockets.
