Auto cut-off??

    I've been practicing my low-speed manoeuvres, etc in a local parking lot. A few times I've overcooked it and the bike's hit the tarmac, but no damage, because it was only slow. However, each time the engine's stopped almost immediately. I pick up the bike without turning off the ignition, and try to re-start the engine, and it won't. Then I turn off the ignition, and back on again, and the bike will start.

    Does this mean that the bike's got some sort of crash sensor which kills the engine?

    It's an 07 Road King Classic.

    Is THAT what the message said!!! I couldn't decipher it. I thought it was just gobbledygook because the ECM was confused. Trust the Yanks to come up with a special name for it.

    RTFM, eh Nobody? Yep, there it is. It's the old story - When all else fails...

    Does this mean all you lads have experienced this first hand, or did you just read the manual properly?
