Default Problems starting
I have an 07 Ultra Classic. It has been starting and running just fine until a few days ago. Now it just clicks when I go to start it. Radio works, gauges work, lights work. Battery reads good when I put it on charger. What could it be??

Just because the charger says your battery is good don't rely on it. You want to get it load tested before you look into any other causes. Your local auto parts store will test it for free.

+1 with a battery tester that will put a load on the battery.

The battery is a goner. You've never experienced the same issue with a car before?
