Did the oil light come on while the engine was still running? Do you have power to the rest of the bike? If not, have you checked the battery cables yet to be sure that they are tight? Is the "RUN" switch in the RUN position? Is it carburetted or fuel injected?
Testimonial: "Dave is super speedy and very knowledgable! He asked all the right questions to be able to help me out! His response was much appreciated!"
thanks so much for your speedy reply. No the oil light came off after it canned out and then turned the ignition back on. There was no power at all, just monster big backfires a couple times. Yes the battery cables are tight. The run switch is in the run position. It's fuel injected.
thanks!
Very hard to diagnose in this venue. You should check the trouble codes. It varies from model to model, however, you should be able to view the trouble codes by holding the reset button on your speedo while turning on the ignition. Once the ignition is turned on, release the reset button and the first trouble code will appear. Pushing the reset button again will bring up the next code, etc. until all codes have been shown. Unfortunately, you will need to find somebady with a service manual for your make and model, to interpret what the codes refer to, (or call a dealership with a list of the codes that you pulled up). It is possible that you have a loose harness plug that would cause these types of issues. It is also possible that the fuel pump feed line, (in the tank), has ruptured causing a lack of fuel pressure to operate the injector system. Too many variables to diagnose without more information. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help...Dave

Hey Dave,
Thanks so much for getting back to me and so quickly too!
I let the bike sit for about 15 mins until it cooled down and it started up again. This has happened a couple times before, (conking out on me,) although the oil light hasn't come on in the past. I have looked into the trouble codes already and replaced the fuel filter as well as installed an FTI. I just found out that there is a recall on the main 40Amp breaker on the 2003 flhpi and i'm going to look into that first.
Thanks again and all the best!

Thanks again so much for your imput.
