Motor stopped while riding
Hello All,
About two years ago my motor stopped while riding in Montana. It was hot, but not too hot. All of the electrical had shut off during the ride as I was pulling through an intersection (after being stopped at a traffic light). After a short period of time, I was able to recycle the ignition and the motor started. I looked at the main 40 amp fuse and it had a 'burnt' appearance, so I replaced it.
Last week in Washington State I was at an intersection for about 5-7 minutes. It was about 80 degrees. As I pulled through the intersection the motor quit again: I had no electrical power. I recycled the ignition and the motor started right away, but the motor ran crappy. I contribute this to the heat management as the motor ran better in about a mile.
Question is, why did the motor and electrical all stop. It really wasn't that hot, and having the motor stop while riding wasn't the most comfortable feeling since I had no electrical e.g. headlight and tail/brake light.
Where would you start looking for a problem?
I have a 2003 Ultra Classic.
Thanks for your time.

I Have an 2003 ultra and I'm having the same issues. I did the recall on the breaker back in 03. I haven't had any issues till now.I have replaced the breaker with the new 50 amp breaker but it still quits and at the most inconvenient times I have 60,000 miles on my ride. Did you find a fix for your ride?
