Hello
first, I'm a relatively new rider and I have a vrod nightrod special. This is my first bike. Excuse my vocabulary as I am not familiar with technical parts.
I was riding on the highway about 80mph and the bike suddenly started counting down the fuel. I had about a half tank in the bike, I check every time I ride. The fuel gauge started going towards empty. The miles bedew empty numbers started counting down about one mile per sec. I knew I had gas, but I slowed down to about 55. Then the bike sputtered, the pipes made the backfire sound, the rpm gauge went to 0, the miles per hour gauge went to zero. I Was still going about 55. As soon the gauges went to 0, they went back up to normal, including the fuel gauge.
The bike felt like it was braking automatically for a second. I thought it was bad gas, so I made it slowly to a gas station and refilled. Got back on the bike. Rode carefully home. I was going about 25 and it did it again. This time the bike shut off. I pulled over. Restarted. Let it run at idle for a minute. It was fine. Rode home going about 10mph. It would randomly sputter.
I just was at Harley changing the levers to black. Harley mechanics did the work. They also changed my foot pegs. All parts were Harley parts.
Any help would be appreciated. Again, sorry for the lack of technical vocabulary. Thanks
