    sonds like bad wire in the harness or connector. check the main harness on the left side of the bike. it gets pinched when turning the bars hard left.

    sometimes you can get a wire that is broke inside the insulation and look fine on the outside.good luck

    The wire harness is routed towards the frame, LH side along to cylinderheads, comming out then at the LH side of the fork... At this point the harness is secured with a pc of plastic. Exact at this point you should look 1st for broken wires (I found a defect there after 2 month of similar problems)
    Try to hold&move the harness there by hand and press start, if you got some feedback, klicking of relays what so ever... you found your problem.

    I had a started wire melt on my first Buell, had to run a new wire, I could wiggle the wires and get it to touch but when I tore it apart I could see that it needed to be replaced.

    Sounds like you have a lose connection though
