Does the speedo say "Tip" in the odometer display, like this?




Cheers!

I believe the 6 flashes after turning on the ignition on an older Twin Cam bike, is the sign of an error code being set (within the last 3 ignition cycles??).....

Check your engine diagnostic codes...

Off the top of my head, I can't remember the process for checking the engine codes on my 2001... maybe do a search, or someone will direct you to a thread with that info..

Good luck with the repair..

Hmm.. should be a code with the 6 flashes..

Anyways, you're gonna have to to do it old school...

After checking all fuses and grounds, start with checking the starter switch, the starter solenoid, to the starter itself....

Good luck with the repair,,,

Did you do the jumper under the seat to get codes from engine light flashing? You can hold down odometer/trip button while turning key and check some sensors, but the jumper will give you flash codes like old school cars.
That being said, I'd check battery itself and connections, don't overlook grounds. Then on to good clean ignition switch and crank position sensor. My bet is battery...fwiw.
