starting problem

I have a 2012 fat boy low. It doesn,t start in gear with the clutch in. No clicks, nothing. It has been in 3 times to fix. New module cluster on right side handle bar, new neutral safety switch, and new clutch safety switch. Going in for the 4th time next week. Anyone have an idea?

I think you Fatboy has a tilt sensor that will shut your bike off if you fall over. I don't know if that sensor also stops the bike from starting but you might want to take a look

My 12 Fatboy is the same, only starts in neutral. Although I'm pretty sure that wasn't always the case.

Let us know what you find out.

Only thing I can think of is maybe try another dealer. If its not right and Ur dealer has tried 3 times.. not sure I go back to him unless he thought of something new he hasn't tried.
