Won't Crank
 
Had the bike a few months. It's a 13 fat boy lo. Only had 240 miles when I got it. Has around 1000 now. A few weeks ago it got where I would hit the start button occasionally and nothing would happen. I could flip ignition switch or rock it a few time and it would eventually crank. It got worse today as I was headed out for a ride. It died once, and then if i kill it, it's tough to go again. Usually after changing gears rocking, flipping all the switches back and forth, and wiggling my nose it will go. I'm thinking a short because when it does get juice it cranks right up. Where can I start?

Which way are you wiggling your nose? Side to side or up and down? Sounds like you need a new battery and some fresh gas..

gas is 2 days old. I found today that if I put in neutral it will fire every time. I'm going to drop a new battery in it and get them to check it at the 1000 mile service this weekend.
