Help please!!
I have a 1982 Tour Glide shovelhead. I have recently started having a problem with the bike cutting out at RPMs over 2500 and haven't been able to ride it. I first I thought I might have some bad gas, but then when I was messing with it this last weekend, I had it in neutral and started reving it up and the the neutral light would flicker as it cut out and when it got below 2500 RPMs it would run fine and the light would stay on. But it seems like the warmer the bike gets the worse the problem gets. So that was leading me to think that it was some kinda electrical problem. Does anyone know what this might be? I would appreciate any help, thanks.

Take your electrical connections apart and clean them, and inspect the wires for shorts, etc. On the plug type connectors use some silicone lube to prevent corrosion. On the bolt type connectors use the silicone also and use "star Washers" to prevent them from losening, don't forget the grounds. Hope this helps
