    Left town and ran great for 80 miles . Passed a truck, used turn signals to return to lane but missed and turned engine switch off. Quickly turned engine back on, the rear cylinder did not fire. Limped to exit, changed plugs and ran good to destination. Bike sat for several hours, put new plugs in and bike fired and ran good for 10 miles, rear cylinder again quit. checked everything possible, limped 80 miles home on front cylinder. I have pulled everything apart and can fine no answers. coil checks out, spark to both cylinders, only code is on the SP area of codes and it is b1005 or 61005. This is a 2005 electra glide. Does anybody have any ideas????

    No immediate ideas but check compression and report back. Remember, hook up a battery charger for the test; battery must be fully charged. Hold throttle open. Need to establish the condition of that rear cylinder.

    I am not sure but I've heard of HDs having an idle circuit that shuts down the rear cylinder to keep from overheating.
