Dang Bike WON'T START!!!!
2007 Street Bob
been in the garage since November attached to the battery tender. FULL battery...turn the ignition and the lights flash (don't remember that happening before...but memory isn't my strong suit), fuel pump comes on. Hit the starter and NOTHING (nada, zilch). Checked the fuses and they all seem to be fine. Tried both of my keys...nope. Where do I go from here (without trailering the dang thing to the dealer just so's he can tell me what an idiot I am for not checking THIS whatever).

You might also check the wire to the starter. Jiggle it around and see what happens. These connectors can get too loose and fail. I have had to replace mine. New piece costs about a buck.

Did the alarm system default to a sleep mode? Both of mine go into hibernation . I turn on the ignition turn it off then cycle the alarm off then on then off. It's a pain, but I know what's going on with the bikes I have.
