  After coming to a stop at a stop sign, my wife went to adjust the side mirror and the engine shut off. initial attempt to restart the bike had no response, but after repeated attempts the bike started. the ride completed without further incident, but when I tried to restart the bike the following day there was no response. the bike was trailered to a local HD dealer, and they diagnosed the problem as a faulty ignition switch. I took a video of the issue before replacing the switch which shows the lightest touch of the switch will cause the engine to shutoff. the switch must have been brushed by my wife's jacket when adjusting the mirrors at the stop sign. *tr

• 10139399TECH ARTICLE TA0023: TA0023: Crankshaft Rod Bearing. Purpose: Technicians have been falsely identifying connecting rod bearings as failed due to a perception of resistance as the rods are rotated. The clearance of the Twin Cam and Milwaukee-Eight crank pin bearings are maintained to a very tight range. This optimizes performance and maintains low mechanical noise in operation. The connecting rod bore can also distort slightly in operation due to stress relaxation. As a result, bearing clearance decreases due to the contact zone broadening and the load being distributed over more rollers. The combination of a bore being slightly out of round and reduced bearing clearance can result in varying degrees of resistance through the range of motion. Axial clearance is also tightly controlled for proper alignment. For these reasons, zones of resistance can be found when the connecting rods are rotated by hand through their range of motion. Resistance during rod motion, by itself, is not an indication of a performance or durability concern.
