Crank no start
Have a 2016 Street Bob that I tried starting for the first time since winter. Fully charged battery was low on fuel. Filled it up fired the bike up ran for 10 seconds then shut off. Tried to start it and it just kept cranking with out starting. Please help.

Having the bike sit all winter with a low fuel level is a recipe for condensation build up. Especially if there was no fuel stabilizer in it.
Take a look at the plugs and check for codes.
You could drain out the gas (and maybe any water in the tank). Fill with fresh gas and a fuel treatment like Seafoam.

It's OK to change the plugs, but my suggestion was to check the plugs- were they wet or dry?
Next, check for spark. Use an inline spark tester, you can't check it using the old way of grounding out a plug on the motor, both plugs need to be in place.

sounds like an electrical issue . Is the bike stock ? Or does it have a tuner on it ? If so , what brand of tuner ?
Your not screwed , my bike hasnt started in a year . If I win the lottery or a money tree starts growing in the back yard.
I will take it to the dealership 😎

Did you check the connector at the coil?
Did you check the fuses?
Don`t just throw parts at it.
