My 2000 ultra did the same thing. Replaced both relays under the seat and that fixed the problem. You can get them at your local NAPA parts store. Funny thing is it started shutting off again about six months later and replaced those 2 relays again and now its fixed again.
Thanks for all the info. There's no clutch switch on this bike. Tried replacing the relays under the seat as I had a couple on another running bike to swap them with and that didn't fix the problem either. Leaning toward the kill switch or ecm. Wondering if there's a check for the crank position sensor -can't find one in the book....
Ok checked wiring to kill switch and no pinched wires, and bike won't turn over if in stop position and will in run position. Checked for power coming out of relay, none. Every diagram of a relay I can find shows pin 85 or 86 being hooked to ground. So I figured maybe the ground off my relay may be bad. I hooked a jumper from relay directly to ground and now the pump will run all the time????

Hello all, new to the forum and my first question here. Bike is a 2000 FLHTC fuel injected. While riding, bike shut down (like out of fuel) was able to restart right after. This happened a couple more times, then would not re-start. Trailered it home. When turning on the ignition switch I could hear fuel pump run for just a second (not long enough to build up pressure) and engine light came on for just as long (just a second while pump was running). While wiggling ign switch could get pump to come on once and a great while, and only for a split second. I looked down in the fuel tank and while pump would flicker and run, I could see fuel moving in the tank. I pulled the pump out and found a pin hole in the fuel line. I've replace the fuel lines and filter in the tank, but still have electrical problem. Pump only comes on for a brief second while rocking ign switch back and forth. I replaced ign switch believing it had shorted, still same problem. While cranking I left the spark plugs (as I have read in other posts that compression is needed for spark???) in bike and checked for spark- none... ANY IDEAS??? Will bad crank pos sensor cause fuel pump to not cycle and a no spark issue? Thanks for any help. Oh, should also mention, bike will belch out the exhaust when turning ign switch on and off, and swapped relays, checked all fuses etc...
