2015 Iron 883 wont crank
I have a 2015 Iron 883 that a friend gave me. It has about 1800 miles on it. I road it for about 2 months off and on put about 1000 miles on it and one morning it wouldn't crank. I looked on this forum for quite a while got some good info. So to date I have had the battery tested at 3 different shops, checked all fuses, checked all connections, checked codes (no codes). So bike electrics turned on, headlight,turn signals and fuel pump all come on. When you push the starter switch headlight turns off, pump turns on and no clicking. Please help.

It can't hurt to check the fob battery as suggested by Mr mmesa005
Try starting with the side stand up and clutch lever pulled in just in case it is a safety cut out issue.
Make sure your single red/black wire connector to the starter solenoid is plugged in.
Disconnect the red/black wire from the solenoid connector and check for battery voltage on it within the first few seconds of pressing the start button. If you don't get any voltage this suggests a problem with the starting circuit. Most occasions I've seen has been a BCM issue.
Try jumping a wire direct from battery positive to that solenoid wire connection and see if bike turns over to rule out mechanical issues. Connect to the solenoid connector first and then to battery positive to avoid sparks!
If it does turn over it would indicate either a problem with the right hand switch gear module or more likely the body control module(BCM) not providing power on that red/black wire to the starter solenoid when it has received a communication from you pressing the start button to do so. The headlamp going out and fuel pump working makes me think the start button and right hand module are okay.
All though I've yet to see it, it could be a break in that red/black wire and testing it for good continuity from the BCM block connector to the solenoid connection and for it running to ground is an inexpensive and logical process of elimination.

Sorry for the late responce. Forgot to add in first post. It has no Key FOB, tried to start with kick stand up in Neutral, tried kick stand up in neutral and clutch pulled in, tried with kickstand up, in gear, clutch pulled in. Also moved emergency shut of switch a few time and tried starting again. Same thing happens: lights turn on, fuel pump comes on, push starter switch, lights go put pump comes back on nothing else happen, no click to indicate the cylinoid is getting any power or that the battery is dead. So kinda stuck. Gonna take starter out to have it tested and go from there.
