"Thanks george,but its none of the above you wrote,My Harley is garage,I finally found out it was a contact inside ignition that had broke away due to flat keys riggling about because of vibration of engine,all 2015 wide glides also have same problem and have been recalled,over 3000 bikes.

I had a new ignition fitted with round key,Problem no more.:)

Kind regards Sam"

"I had the same problem. Ended up being rust inside the ignition switch. I had to store it outside for a few weeks. Had a cover on it, but the moisture rusted some contacts inside the switch.

I took the ignition switch off, removed the C-clip retainer, GENTLY pried out the round plastic piece holding the contacts inside, cleaned everything really well and removed rust by soaking in penetrant and scraping, put it back together and worked perfectly."
