Default Keeps dying

Have an 06 street glide. Just had the top end fully rebuilt 3 weeks ago including new cylinders. When I pull in the clutch to downshift and hold it too long, the rpms drop to 200 then it dies.do I take it in and have them take a look or is it something easy?

No way to know...lots of possibilities...but what jumps out at me in my mind is maybe a weak battery...yeah, it would have enough grunt to start it a time or too, then it's all done. Might be something you'd feel more comfortable with to have a mechanic check it out, but otherwise, start checking connections...

I replaced the battery just before the rebuild. Connections look fine and the battery is holding a charge. Could it be the regulator? How do I check that?
