Driving and all of a sudden the bike has an ah ha moment! Just taking in a breath of air?

I just bought a Harley 2006 softail deluxe. When I am riding it will sometimes just die. I have to pull over and turn off the bike and turn it back on. Then it starts just fine. I have taken it to several different bike dealers and they can't seem to duplicate the problem.

It happens everytime I ride at least twice.
I am very frustrated and just wonder if anyone else has ever had this problem. Maybe it is in the security key fob electrical system? This is activated through your turn signals so when the bike is hummin' along I don't want to chance it and turn the signals on. Please help because it is getting dangerous and I can't ride on the freeway with this problem.

Thanks

Just a thought?

My bike was also doing this. My husband checked over the bike and found a kink in the fuel line. This was making the bike run and when all the fuel was used in the line it would die. Just a thought and good luck.

My Bike Did This Before
by: Sassy2731

Hey, my 2005 Fatboy started doing this when the hubby put a Kuryakan Rear Blinkers on it. We went on a ride and just all of a sudden while I was just riding down the road getting ready to turn off it would just die out and I would have to coast to the shoulder. It would always start right back up. When we got home the hubby determined the only new changes were those lights so I told him to just put my stock rear lights back on and problem was solved. Later on we did find a short in the ignition, but that was like 2 years later, so I don't think it was related. Has your bike had any changes on the lights from stock to aftermarket? That could be your problem also.
