Need Help Please
Here's the story.
 \\;\\\\\\;
06 Street Glide 95 inch with 251 cams, if that matters. T rex true duals, compression releases.
 \\;\\\\\\;
I was riding home from work today, cruising at 70 mph, all of a sudden both tach and speedo gauges drop to zero, lose all power, luckily I got it over to the side when I got it stopped no power at all, motor was off. Plenty of juice no battery problem. I turned ignition off. Turned ignition back on, pushed compression releases, let EFI cycle and the bike fired right up. Drove away running good. Got about 5 miles from home and it did same thing again, didn't pull over this time, \\;\\\\\\; I opened the throttle a couple of times and it went back up to speed slowly. Any ideas? Thanks \\;\\\\\\; \\;\\\\\\; Scott

I did a search on fuel filter, sounds to me maybe there are tiny pin holes in fuel line inside tank and may have caused this. I called the dealer as soon as I got home. How much are they gonna charge me to fix this I wonder? New fuel filter and fuel line.

Exactly. Running out of fuel wouldn't cause the speedo to stop. \\;I've heard that there have been some problems with the breaker. You might check it out.

I checked the battery connections, all are tight. I checked the plug wires as well. I am going to take it in to the dealer tomorrow, hopefully they don't rape me too bad. There are too many things it can be.
