There is a vehicle down sensor in the battery compartment. There was a recall because if not positioned correctly it could sense a "down" condition in curves etc.

Check all the switch terminals, especially the clutch and kickstand...

I am a relatively new rider (about a year and ½). I ride a 2002 1500 Drifter. It is my primary mode of transportation and have put about 16,000 mile on over the last 18 months. The bike now has a total of about 18,000. It has run like dream so far other significant pinging if I lean on the gas. But recently it has begun stalling out momentarily. It started about a week ago at higher speeds (65-70) but is now happening at various speeds in all gears. It re-starts on its own after about 10-15 seconds. It did happen recently in a tight u-turn and I almost laid the bike down. I have checked the terminals on the battery and have followed the wiring as much as possible and can't find any loose connections or evidence of shorts. The bike is serviced regularly at a local custom shop. I run high-test with an additive to deal with the ethanol issue. The shop is primarily a Harley custom shop and the guys are great but they suggested that if I did some research before I brought it in it would save them some time and save me some money. So if anyone out there has had a similar problem I would sure appreciate any help or ideas of where to look.

Thanks Guys

Dr. J.
