Default 2008 Rocker

After rolling my 2008 Rocker-C out after its longer winter nap I've found that it will turn over but will not start. I've checked all fuses and they're ok., changed the battery in my security keyfob. I did have the battery disconnected and put a charge on it before re-connecting. I don't hear the fuel pump charge the system though as I normally would. Anybody have any thoughts on my issue, bad fuel pump,security system issue or something else??? Thanks

My first thought is a weak battery. Had that a few years back, the bike would turn over just fine, but would not start. Jumped it, and she fired right up. And to me, that's the easiest and simplest thing to try. Start simple, and then work your way through it.

If you jump it from your car, don't start the car.

Really basic question but if you have juice, is the kill switch on "run"? "Off" disables the fuel pump.

Try another battery in key fob & try enter your 5 digit code to bypass the fob will eliminate a defective fob. Weak battery, not enough cranking amps? Check all fuses if any open.

I read that you didn't hear the fuel pump prime the line but I am just trying to offer ideas for more common problems.

Is there gas in the bike? Is it bad? You may want to siphon old gas and add new gas to the tank.

Keep us posted.
