Default 2017 Fat Bob Electrical Issues

Yo! I get an intermittent engine cut out every now and again. The bike will jerk and the speedometer will goto (damn near) 0 and then get back up to speed. This'll happen 2 to 5x's. Was told that the battery terminal screw was loose but I can't tighten it any more than it is. Anyone hava similar ishue? Thanks!

Checking the battery terminals is only half the job, you need to look at the other ends, especially the ground.
You can find the relay and fuse locations in your owner's manual.
