| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 roadking classic with 10,609 miles. Mileage when problem started was 9,837. While riding in the black hills, going down a 6% grade, the engine dies and the speedometer dropped to 0. I coasted to the bottom of the grade and pulled off onto the shoulder of the road. When i stopped, the fuel pump pumped up, the check engine light came on and went off, and i started the bike and went on. About 3 days later it done it again, again going down a steep grade. This time i pulled in the clutch and flipped the engine kill switch off and on and the electric came back. I started the bike and went on. It did it a total of three times in ten days, and each time i was going down a grade. I took it to dodge city harley davidson, they checked it and could not find anything wrong. I was passing a vehicle the 2nd time and was just pulling in front of him when it died out. Not a good thing or feeling going 65mph. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? |
