Sportster won't start
Hi all.
New member from Sweden. I have some questions I hope some of you can answer. I have an Iron 2013 and I took off the Power Commander 5. Now I get codes P0113, P0118 and P0123. Tried to clear them but they won't go away and the bike won't start. I have a K&N filter and Krome Werks tapered on the bike, just ordered some ViED's from DK custom to put on and that's why I took off the PC5. The reason is that my bike has never worked ok with it and I don't need the few extra horsepower. I usually ride on small country roads between 40-60miles/h so I think the ViED's gonna be ok for me. I don't want any more electric equipment on my bike....As I said, the only thing I did was taking off the PC5 and connected all back to stock. I first took it out just to see if it was working and it did, but it was surging and hesitating, (jerky) and realized I'd forgotten the O2 sensors. I'm not gonna ride it until I get the ViED's but just wanted to see if it started. Took it back to the garage and mounted/connected the O2 sensors and now it won't start and I get the codes as mentioned before. Checked all connectors and they're tight and I haven't "squeezed" anything as far as I can see. I've had japs bikes before for 30 years so this is my first Harley and my first EFI. So please, does anybody have some info, tips of what I can do to solve this?? Don't want to hand over my bike to a dealer in my region if I can avoid it.....
Kind regards, Christer

Did you ever get this problem resolved? I'm having this exact issue after taking off a power commander v from my 2010 Sportster. The bike cranks but doesn't turn over. I can't get these 3 codes to clear, and I replaced the throttle position sensor. I haven't been able to find anyone else having this issue.
