My 2006 Fatboy wont start. The battery is perfect, it turns but the bike wont start. It has gas and it started up just fine last night. Any suggestions?

Many complaints like yours. Look at the connectors on your ignition switch. Clean them, make sure they have a good connection and don't forget to use dielectric grease when you reassemble.

Before taking the ignition switch apart I hooked her up to the battery tender the previous night. Next morning I tried to start her just for kicks and boom! Bike was running. Maybe my battery is going bad?
