Default FXDI wont start, any ideas??

06 Dyna FXDI, motor cranks but won't start. Bike has power but won't start. Already changed battery, new plugs and pulled/cleaned the fuses. Any ideas, advice??

Check for spark and fuel.

Replaced with fresh fuel, when checking for spark, didn't see anything. Could it be a bad stater or bum plugs? Just bought plugs from the dealer....

What did you just do to it. Disconnect the plug wires put some plugs in the wires, ground to the cylinder and crank the engine, is there spark? Is the fuel disconnect connected to the fuel tank securely?

We can not see the bike and have no history.
Is this a new bike to you?
When did it operate OK?
Did you change anything on the bike?
Why did you change the battery?
Why did you change plugs?
It would seem like the bike cranks so you need to look for fuel and spark.
Does the fuel pump prime when the ignition is powered?
Does the bike indicate any error codes?

Try a little quickstart. If it catches/pops...you've got a fuel issue. If not...you have no spark.

Ok, usually this is the crank position sensor, it should test at 0.9 ohms or similar, a duff one will show 0 ohms and they usually fail when the bike is shut down and so it won't start again.

Just a note on EFI bikes, they won't spark if you take the plugs out, to test for a spark you need to leave the plugs in and put another set of plugs in the plug caps and crank her over with the plugs earthed on the motor.
