Unerving heck: I would suggest checking the current status of payments on your "pre-need" funeral policy.

If the bike will die while standing still and off the throttle when you hit the turn signal, you have an electrical problem in all probability. If it won't die while standing still when you hit the turn signal but will die while moving and hitting the turn signal, things could be more complicated.

I had all kinds of problems to solve with my system, but none quite like what you describe. That is an obviously dangerous situation you need to remedy ASAP. Wish I could help you. You obviously describe an electrical problem. However................ you might give this a try:

Clear your codes as per the HD manual. Check the code history on the DTT system. Clear the codes on the DTT history, then start your bike and see which event sets the code.

I assume you wait the appropriate time (5 seconds) before hitting the starter button and I assume you wait 30 seconds before taking off and I assume you do not twist the throttle during or shortly before starter operation.

If I had to guess, it is out of sync which the DTT code history will show. And when you give it hard throttle, it will die, but it will run somewhat OK out of sync so long as you putt around and stay off a hard twist of the throttle. The code light will come on for a lot of reasons, but being out of syn is surely one reason. In fact,sometimes that light will not come on even when it is running out of sync but most of the time it will come on and either stay on or go off after a while if it is running out of sync. If your DTT code history shows a bunch of trips out of sync, I would not suspect the turn signal especially if you can't duplicate the problem standing still.
