G'day all,

My battery was flat (hadn't ridden bike (07 fatboy) all winter) and so I bought a battery charger / maintainer and put it on a couple of days ago. I went back today and it seems that it HAS actually charged the battery ok but the bike will NOT start now.

All it does is flash the turn signals left / right / left / right / left / right and then there is a break and then it does it again... it even does it for a while after I turn the ignition off but when I push in the starter button nothing happens.

No Alarm sounds so I don't think it is the alarm.... would this be that it has forgotten the FOB id and I need to re-program it or is something f*cked?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Sounds like your alarm isn't recognizing the fob. Try replacing the battery in your fob. (or if you have a 2nd one put it near the bike.

 

I agree with br7132....must be your security system.....
if you can't get the fab to work...look at your owners manual...it will tell you how to reset the alarm

 

+1 on the Fob battery.

 

a lot of times if you just wiggle the fob battery it will work (oxidation on battery/contacts)
Do you have the code to enter via directional switches ?

if you have the HD Factory security system, or the HD Smart Security system?

it shouldn't "forget" the fob
on my 04 RoadKing I had the battery disconnected for a few months while i rerouted the wiring harness , and it work fine after it was reconnected(HD Factory security System).

If its the Smart Security system, did you move the antenna when you worked on the battery ?

 

does it not crank! (Crank= starter turnes engine over)?

 

I think the man said it doesn't crank.



Change the FOB battery.

 

As Originally stated (and repeated by SafetyMan) It doesn't crank.
The reason is security is enabled

 

Its the FOB my 2007 fob batteries are going bad too

 

No, it won't even crank.... does nothing when I push the starter button
