Default engine quits intermittently

Engine quits intermittently and suddenly, I immediately cyle off/run kill switch and engine fires back up instantly. The problem occurs at all temperature ranges and will run fine once kill switch is cycled at time engine dies. Changed ecm, and wiggle checked wires cannot duplicate?
Bike is a 2000 heritage

Always check Ground wire(s) first...also some harleys have a automatic tip over kill switch.

Just recently saw the same problem on a 99 Indian. It used a Thunderheart Electronic Wiring Harness and a "barrel" type ignition switch. The weight of the keys contribute to high wear on the switch and under the right harmonic vibrations the switch would momentarily open then close. This caused the electronic controller to trip even when the open is such a short duration it can't be perceived by the rider. Once the kill switch is cycled the controller is reset and you're back to power. Replacing the ign. switch and dressing up a few wiring connections stopped the problem completely.
