Intermittent engine cutting off
My '07 Electra Glide Classic has an intermittent issue of the engine cutting off after riding for a while when coming to a stop. It seems to get worse after riding for a while and when you pull the clutch in when rolling up to a stop sign or stop light. Sometimes the engine will stumble and sometimes it will just shut off. It always starts right back up, but while riding in traffic it can be very frustrating. The problem seems to be the worst in warm weather. It has been to Harley twice. The first trip they found one small air leak, and the second trip they found nothing. They said the ECM has no codes, fuel pressure, injectors, and voltage regulator all show good. Has anyone experienced anything similar? Problem has been present since I bought the bike about a year ago. I have recently upgraded the air filter, programmer, and pipes and the problem is still present. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try this: Going about 30 mph, pull in the clutch, and hit just the rear brake fairly hard to slow, and see if the engine immediately dies like flipping a switch.
If it does, then do the following.
Take a wooden dowel, and with the engine at idle, LIGHTLY, poke the wires under the fuel tank above the induction module (injector body).
If it dies from doing this, then you have a broken wire. Probably the one going to the MAP sensor.
This happened to mine, and it was a pain to find the cause.

I had the same problem as Shooter on my 2010 RK (not sure if 07's are similar)... you can do that dowel test first if you like to see if that is your culprit. It's pretty obvious if it is... moving that harness a bit should make the bike shudder or turn off, or idle higher if it's the culprit.
