mine was doing that and it was a weak battery that led me to the starter switch itself. It was all crusty and contacts were corroded. probably from washing it, So i cleaned it up and no problems since.

Note: i am still running the factory battery from 01

Dielectric grease on every electrical connection you can get your hands on!

You'll never have to worry about corrosion causing strange problems again.

BUELLers:

You should check the tightness of you battery terminals as part of your PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM as they will get loose ...

MAY THE LONG LASTING BUELL BE WITH YOU !!!
