I have a 2009 crossbones, and the battery went dead. I installed a new battery, when I turn it on, the fuel
pump doesn’t activate and when I turn it over it just makes a clicking sound.
many ideas? Thanks!
I'd try and reset the ECM but have to wonder what killed the baattery,
I had it on a trickle charger. The power went out, and unbeknownst to me, (we recently moved) the outlet had a fuse in it. It popped, and as such, the battery died. I had shoulder surgery last year, and just now I’m able to ride again. I was home from work for a couple days, and thought I’d get the bike out to ride. I’m going back to work, so I’ll be gone for a while. I’ll have to Try to tackle it when I return.
It sounds like the new battery is dead (yes it is possible). Do the lights come on when you turn on the ignition? Did you charge the new battery before installing it? A trickle charger or battery tender will not charge a dead or near dead battery.

What is the new battery's current voltage?
I bought the battery at a Harley deslership. The guy told me it was charged and ready to go.
the lights come on when u turn the ignition switch. The fuel pump is not running when I push the run switch, then when I turn it over it clicks.

Check your fuses possibly the surge may have shorted the fuse that runs the fuel pump
