Check your fuses for the fuel injection, if everything else is there, spark, cranking, fuel pump runs, most likely it popped a fuse. If it did, check wiring connections, in fact the one that mounts on the rear of the throttle body is known to cause problems due to a loose connection. Fastrider 124

Check your sensors, also. In particular, your crank position sensor & your heat temp. sensor.

Try pressure testing your fuel pump. Also, here's a link:http://www.harley-davidsonforums.com...fuel-pump.html. Check out Schmidty's comments
