RoadKing Shuts down

My 2000 Rk with pc111 loses all electrical after driving for about 10 minutes. I pull over to the side of the road and turn the bike of then on again and it fires right up again, only to lose all electrical again about a mile or 2 down the road.
Thanks, PH

My 2001 EGC did the same thing. Replace the 50amp CB. Its only a 6 dollar part and its in front of the Batt. Its&nbsp\\; easy to replace.

Check the battery terminals? Same happened to my wifes ride. Connections were vibrated loose. Off and on problem till I took off seat. Fixed everything.

I traced this same problem to my emergency on/off switch. Of course any of the previously mentioned items could cause it, too. It's definitely not a thing you want to ride with. Could be very dangerous.

Thanks for the info. I've tied all the things ention in the post along with checking the Bank Angle Sensor. There are no troubles set. I'm just waiting for the weather to clear for a test run.
Thanks, PH

I had a 2000 Road Glide that had that problem.&nbsp\\; After several episodes and 2 dealership visits, mine shut down close to sturgis one night.&nbsp\\; The next morning that dealership changed out the circuit board and corrected the problem.&nbsp\\; Turns out there was a tech bulletin or recall on the issue and they knew what to do.

.............I had the same trouble w/my 2001 RK. Turned out to be the ignition module. Once I replaced it w/the OEM I had no further problems, hope this helps. Good luck!
