Sudden problem, need help
Sudden problem, need help
I have a 2007 FXST. I went to start it, turned on the ignition and hit the Run switch, but the fuel didn't pump through, nor did the transmission light come on like normal. So I hit the start switch and I got nothing. I mean NUTHIN! I was on my way home from a long trip, so I had no time to troubleshoot. Does it sound like a fuse problem? And from what I could tell and see, no lines were loose or disconnected and I have a full tank of gas. Help me please, I am missing some awesome ride time. Thanks.

Do you have the security system?
If so was the fob near?
Was the battery in to fob good?
Of course, battery charged, good connections, and no blown fuses?
After that it's beyond me.

I have known some Friends bikes that stick sometimes. Try moving switch back and forth when the ignition is turned on. If fuel pump turns on it should start.

Citori,
I let a buddy of mine ride one of the old bikes, he did his norm and turned the kill switch off, I never do.....I go to ride a couple days later,,,no start. Spent about 30 minutes looking for the culprit, main fuse, plugs, points, and then looked up and there it is,,,Kill Switch.
Anyway, I've got an 07 Fatboy, so I would definately like to know what the culprit is. Please jmorris, let us know.
