What happens when your bike shuts off while riding?
It does NOT lose electrical when this happens so it is NOT the main circuit breaker which has been updated. Temperature of bike doesn’t seem to make difference and neither does fuel level. Two or three times it has shut off long enough for me to coast to side of road and re-start WITHOUT cycling run/off switch–I just hit start.

What causes a Harley Davidson to lose all power?
This can be caused by a loose neck or loose spokes (models w/spoke rims). Check your neck and tighten if nessacary. Also, can be caused by a bad wheel bearing. My first thought would be to load test the battery. 10v is low and if it he only gets a clicking when trying to start, that’s one sign of a bad battery.
