I have a 2009 Lightning XB12scg and I have been having a serious electrical problem. It first started when the head light would go dim and stay dim for a few seconds. Then the bike started to shut off on me intermittently. Also the bike gauges and lights don't turn on when when I turn the ignition on, the parking lights will come on or nothing at all. This also was an intermittent problem although it has progressively gotten worse. I took the ignition switch out and had it tested and doesn't seem to be the problem. Also I was inform it might be a relay, but that seems fine as well. Any suggestions?

Sounds like a broken wire. I would check the wiring around the steering head.

Isn't it still under warranty?

It is not under warranty, it was a demo bike and the warranty went into effect at the start of the warranty.
