My 2008 softail deluxe sometimes decides to cut out while riding. The power goes and the danger begins if you are in traffic. I notice that the engine oil light comes on and I have to turn the ignition off and back on to restart the engine. This has happened several times over the past few years. I was told a couple years ago by a Harley Dealer that it may be the security fob battery so I changed the battery in that but after a few months it happened again. It may not happen for a year and then it'll happen twice in the same day.
The last time it happened I was turning left at an intersection and it quit, the truck coming at me down the hill had to brake and swerve. This is a dangerous scenario. I read plenty of blogs about this issue but I've yet to read anywhere what the solution is. To add, Harley dealers seem to dismiss that there's a problem and they report having never heard of such a problem. This seems unlikely to me. Please help before I get killed.
