So I take off from work, everythings fine for about 1/2 a mile then WHAM. engine just cuts out and all power is gone. not gradual at all, just running and BAM not.
No hard starts (first try almost instantly every time) and very little hooked up to the circuit.
When I try to crank it, there is nothing. no lights, and no attempts at turning over.
I had to leave it at work, and my bike is too old for them to let any techs work on it there (fuck me, break down at a harley dealership and they won't work on my fucking harley, AND I FUCKING WORK THERE.) so i'll have to see if I can get it running in the parking lot. Since I cant really test or anything and I live far enough that my free towing won't help me any suggestions as to what I might be looking at so that I can better prepare myself to fix it in the parking lot would be appreciated.
I talked to one of the service writers and he said I'm free to try any of the batteries they have there to see if it's the problem, otherwise I'm SOL
Bike is an 83 1/2 (Alternator, ect., but titled 83) Ironhead. no switches. key turns ignition. no horn or signals.
anyhelp would be awesome. Lets hope for something cheap otherwise I'm fucked and will end up losing my job
