Need help with a dyna low rider starting
Had my bike under a tarp for a week or so. Took it out yesterday and cranked it up just fine. Rode it around for a few minutes then parked it. Went to crank it up and realized I left the key on so the battery drained. Put it on a trickle charge for half a day or so then went to try to crank it. Now it will turn over and run for a few seconds but dies. After I try to crank it 3 times the damn anti theft kicks in and it won't turn on any more.

Welcome to the forum.
How old is the bike and the battery? A trickle charger might not be able to fully charge it, and if the battery was completely drained it may be damaged and never hold a charge.
Get it load tested and be prepared to buy a new one. Meantime, check all battery and ground connections to make sure they are snug and clean.

I apologize for not including the year model. It's an 04. I bought the battery at the beginning of the year.
I doubt it's the battery because it turns over and cranks. It dies after running for a few seconds though. I'm still going to check it to make sure.
