My 2009 Street Bob is really confusing me and I am sure after i figure it out I will be even more mad. I put a new set of bars and v&h Short Shots on my bike after I wired the bars all up and went to fire it all it would do is turn over. The motor is getting full revolution but I am not getting any spark from the coil or power for that matter. A couple people thought it could be that damn key fob thing but the battery is new in it. Do i need to put in the special code (turn signal code) to get it to fire. PLEASE HELP I may just shoot this thing.

 

It is not the fob. If the battery were dead it would not turn over. Since you did wiring in the bars and now she will not start, that is were I would look. Perhaps a loose wire or a crushed one or you have a wire crossed. Check your wiring to see if there is anything wrong.

 

I re-wired it twice now. the only thing i didnt wire was the little buttons on the back side of the switch housings. Could that be it?

 

The little buttons are for the brake light and I believe the clutch. How come you did not wire these back in? Not sure what the clutch one does but I believe it is part of a safety feature so the bike can not start in gear, but not 100% sure. The other one is for the brake light and you definitely need that one. If you have the service manual it will describe the function of the clutch side switch. Your problem most likely resides in the work that you have just done. I know what a pain in the *** it is when things do not go as plan, but remember you are not alone as we have all been down that road. Take your time and verify all of the wiring is correct including those little switches and I am sure you will figure it out....

 

bobnehoc is correct, it can't be the fob. It would not even turn over if the fob was fubared.

 

I can't remember if the run switch is off if it will allow the engine to crank. If so, that would be the first thing I would look at. Do you hear the fuel pump primimng when you turn the ignition on?

 

Yeah the fuel pump primes when the ignition switch is turned on (at the switch housing). But I dont have any power to the coil. the first time I wired these bars I blew the ignition fuse that is why i had to do it the second time. It couldnt have blown the coil could it? The only reason i didnt wire them is because I had taken them off my other bike as they didnt do anything then now I am thinking on this one that it could be holding it from firing.

 

i had same thing happen when i did my bars , turned out the gray/black wire going into run switch was not soilderd in . try jumping run switch at connector

 

HMMMMM. Interesting now would the fuel pump engage with the wire bad? And what did you jump the wire to?

 

think its the white/black wire , if you need me to check wire schematic i can , everything acted normal on mine but no spark but mine is a 2001
