When i turn on the ignition on my fatboy, all the lights come on etc, but the fuel pump doesn't seem to kick in (no noise after switching on the ignition). The bike turns over but won't start and feels like there's no fuel getting to the plugs.


Any suggestions?

 

I'd start by checking the fuse box and connections to the fuel pump

 

also if you have a key fob....might need a new battery

 

had the same issue, it was the key fob. i got a two pack from wally world for under 3 bucks. put the battery in and the bike started right up.

 

The big question is: Do you have a security system? If so, the answers above are the first things to try. I change my FOB batteries every year. Does the display ask you to enter a code? Is there a Red light on your dash?
If you do not have a security system, check your fuses.

 

That was the first thing i did, no anomalies though.

 

Never tried that but will give it a go. The fob allows the ignition to come on and disables the alarm, just no sound from the fuel pump kicking in. The bike even turns over but no firing as if it's starved of fuel.

 

Currently overseas mate but from memory the red light is on and no request for a code. The bike has the factory fitted security system fitted.

 

I'm with Freak. Sounds like the Fob battery. Easy fix. Try entering the security code manually, that should tell you if it is the Fob.
