2011 FXDWG starting troubles
Need help. Bike doesn't want to start. Changed battery. Changed starter relay. Fuses are good.
I turn the bike on and can hear the fuel pump work. Hit the start button and all it does is crank and crank and crank. I am lost and don't know what's wrong.

==============
Need fuel / fire / air / compression
If it ain't the kill switch - one of the above is missing
Systematically figure out which it is

If the kill switch isn't in run the bike shouldn't crank. I would definitely check spark, make sure your plugs aren't fouled out. if you have spark, you will have to verify you have proper fuel pressure, just cause you hear the pump doesn't necessarily mean you have the proper fuel pressure. If you don't have spark, check power/ground to the coil, if there's power/ground, replace coil, if no power/ground, then you need to look at the cam/crank sensor (I forget which one is for fuel and which for spark). Do this and let us know.

with with respect I ask, how so? How is this inaccurate information? Don't get me wrong, I will be the first to admit if I'm wrong. However, every Harley I've ever rode wouldn't crank unless the ignition on, and the seitch to run. I am speaking only of the harleys I've rode (though I can't think of any other bikes I've rode that would crank in the off position) most of which have the switch on the console, and the kill switch on the handlebars, and a few with only the fob/run switch. I've slways turned the console **** to run, had the fuel pump/spedo/lights turn on, but not crank with the kill switch engaged. When I say "all of the harleys I've rode", I would estimate only having ridden somewhere around 15 or so. Not starting an argument, just curious if there's something I don't know. Thank you.

Ignition on..., kill off - bike will crank all day long.., or till the battery runs dead - however it won't fire
I know this from the stupid **** I've done ..., accidentally hitting the kill switch and not realizing it till a few minutes later
