2008 Train will not start
My 08 train cranks but it will not fire up. I rode the bike yesterday onto a trailer. Today I pulled it off of the trailer and no go. The bike will crank, but not start. Only thing I can think is that when I first moved the trailer I had the alarm fob in my pocket and the bike's alarm when off. Anyone have an idea on what I am dealing with?

The odds are tringazillion to 1 that would ever happen. I suspect they did a reset on the tssm or something else like that.Ron

More than likely, the plugs were fouled from not being run long enough....
When a bike is first started, it immediately goes into "Warmup Enrichment", which means that it is throwing extra fuel in the combustion chamber, but minimal air....
If the bike was only started and run for a few minutes (2-3), the cylinder head temp never broke 125 degrees, and the amount of fuel is huge at that point....
For those that are questioning this, take a look at your SERT table called Warmup Enrichment... It is a TEMPERATURE DETERMINED FUEL MULTIPLIER.... The colder the motor, the more fuel it throws...
