How do I cure vapor lock?
If you're getting vapor lock, the bike will die after a few miles, and not restart for several minutes.
If the bike dies, immediately remove the gas cap and see if the bike will restart right away.
You could also ride it without the gas cap (try it on a tank that's 1/4-1/2 full, NOT fully full, because of gas splash) and see if it doesn't die after a few miles.
Trouble codes
You may just have a stray fault, try to clear it and see if it returns: Key ON, Key OFF, Key ON, hit left turn signal 2 times wait for 2 flashes,,, hit right turn switch ONCE =>One Flash. Hit Right switch once =>2 flashes, Hit right turn switch once again =>3 flashes. Hit Left turn switch once than read codes to clear Hit left switch & hold for confirmation 2 flashes (hold at least 5 seconds).
If the code comes up again you've got a poor ground issue somewhere. If you need further help, reach me via phone at

How to take the battery out of my motorcycle
Always nice to have a model year.
For a softail remove the seat, undo the negative cable first and then undo the positive cable and then grab hold of (sometimes hard to do) and pull/lift the battery up and out.
