Default 05 fxdli starting issue.

I have an 05' dyna low rider that starts then dies about 2 seconds later. I don't have to turn ignition off then back on to restart it. I just hit the start button again and it fires right back up then dies about 2 seconds later. I put a fully charged battery on it this morning, but it's still doing the same thing. Starts runs for 2 seconds then dies. Any ideas on the cause of this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Have you done any recent work ? Adding more information about your bike might help others help you . Do you by chance have an FP3 hooked up ?

Check your bike for error codes , might lead you in the right direction .

Have you cleaned the iac lately ?

Sounds like you might be on the right track , checking your bike for error codes might help guide you in the right direction .

Did you add a tuner or have it tuned after you changed exhaust ?

No I didn't add a tuner , because I didn't change my air cleaner. But I'm looking to upgrade my air cleaner and add a tuner in the near future. If you've got any suggestions on them . I'd appreciate it.

Contact fuel Moto and see if they have any suggestions as to what air cleaner would work best with your pipes , I don't think it really matters myself , but this would be a good time to decide on whether you want to do the external breather kit as well .

As far as tuners , I would go with a Power Vision , can't beat it and their customer service is outstanding .

Well I'm back on the road, minus a speedometer. Had water in my speedometer housing from a crack in the glass. I just unplugged the speedometer. And it fired up and stayed running. Thanks for the help and info on the tuner and air cleaner.
