Clean your Ignition Switch - Prevent Stalling While Riding
#61
Thanks Joe ! The issue happened many times and each time I turned the **** off then on and the bike just restarted ... This weekend I was in middle of no where and after a short brake the bike wouldn't start, no power what so ever. After 30 min and after many tries, the bike turned on ! Went back home and found your detailed post... here is a picture of my switch
Mr. Whittaker, how did you find out it was a bank angle sensor? What year is your bike? I don't think my old bike has that.

A lot of Internet searching.
My bike is a 2000 softail standard. I have done a lot of research and have tried many things that are free of charge. Cleaned connections checked wires. I started to notice that when I was driving normal I didn't have a problem. And when I was taking of fast or quick on the throttle it kicked off. When I turned off the bike it reset whatever was wrong. So it pretty much three out fuel or coil. It did not hesitate and just shut off like a breaker and realized that sensor kills the bike when the bike is laid over and doesn't throw an engine code so I figured I'd unhook it and see what happened. When unhooked the bike has never shut down again no matter what i try and before I could shut it down pretty much just by opening the throttle quickly.

This has happened to me yesterday several times. On the side of the road I took it apart found the harness half off. Plugged it in. Worked well for 45 miles then went out again. Pulled it apart. Everything looked good. Continued and went out again. Tapped the ignition switch again and didn’t have a problem all the way home. I thought it’s the switch. Read your post and will definitely pull it apart and clean it. Thanks!!
