i did not hold the load long enough, read the manual and it is just under 400 on analog needle, I pulled battery again to have autoparts store test to see what their tester says. I did start bike again and no issues today.
Had battery tested at autozone and advance auto and passed both places. Advance tester said it had 477 cranking amps. autozone did not have number just that it passed. I also bought new digital tester and it says 425, which is still well above the 315 it says it is rated at
Touched every connector I could find and this big one clicked like it was not fully seated, both small connectors I can see behind headlight area good
After reinstalling battery still starts right up, guess just have to bite the bullet and take for a long ride around the block to see if good. Hate not having real answer.

I had to take my 2024 Softail back to dealer today.
Only 344 miles and it started acting up at 257 miles. Same type situation, no start then all lights on instrument panel lighting up and staying on along with security light staying on.
Was able to flip the power switch back and forth a dozen times and it finally started. The Engine light stayed on and it kept showing the same code in three different areas the ECM, RHCM, ABS. U0142H. Codes could be cleared but came right back.
Started having issues with the throttle cutting out like it was a delay between the twist and response.
Will see what the Dealer has to say but so far I'm not happy.
I had an issue just like that. I would get to where Im going, and then the bike wouldnt start. Figured out the fuel pump wasnt priming all the time. I took the fuel pump out of the tank and replaced just the motor and never had an issue since.
