Default died, no start

2009 Road King.. left the garage, pulled up to the end of the driveway and it died. Cranks fine, no start. Has codes P1511, P2101. I checked all the electrical connections, seemed secure with no obvious issues. It will fire with a small shot of ether, so I know it has spark, seems to be not getting fuel at all. suggestions on where to go next?

Good news there , open your gas cap , 1/2 tank of fuel or close , turn the ignition on and listen for a " spray " , could be a leak in the fuel hose or cracked / faulty pressure regulator .

If your bike hasn't had a new fuel filter installed , I recommend pulling the pump and changing all three , hose , filter and regulator , depending on miles , it's probably due .

After that , clear your codes and test it , hopefully that's all it is .

FYI... it was a bad pressure regulator.
