OK I hopped on my bike this morning to do to work .... It doesn't start. So thinking it's the battery, I grab out my little jump starter. Still nothing. Strange thing is the headlights are still bright. Any ideas what it could be ? I have noticed it's been hard starting lately. Doesn't fire up on the first crank.

 

Maybe check the kill switch?

 

Oh it turns over. Just doesn't fire. Thinking it's the stator.

 

I just got off the phone with the dealer. He think I'm out of gas. Quick check ... Nope it has 1/2 a tank still.
Dealer scheduling a pick-up for today or tomorrow.

 

Update. I called the dealer to get a status update on my bike. Service rep said they won't be able to look at the bike untill OCT 9th ! That's a week and half away !

 

you need a new dealer

 

Bring your battery to the dealer and see if they can start one of their bikes with it.

How old is your battery? I'm guessing it's the problem...



just saying...

What year is the bike, is it FI or carbed? If a FI bike, does the fuel pump prime when you switch it on? If not, check your fuses...

 

I just looked this question up.. He said in a earlier post that he bought it new in 12..
Thinking it should still be under warranty and unless He's had some Elc probs, the battery should be good to go..!!!!..

 

I had a similar problem with my '07 Fatboy. She would crank but not fire. It turned out to be a blown fuel pump fuse. Changed the fuse and she has been running fine even since. That was over four years ago, a 15 cent fuse was easier than a trip to the dealer and definitely much quicker.
