This is much too vague, you need to describe exactly what is happening.
You must also tell us what you are working on.

Hi
I've just got this bike and I want to start the beautiful adventure what Harley family can give me
I have iron 883 from 2017.
I turn key twice. Lights starts. Than I press ignition.
I can hear some noise like crash, in the mean time lights go darker for a second and nothing more happening.

Here are some good instructions from an old thread:Ratbike_Mike's Avatar

Bill, you should really wait 24 hours or so after charging a battery before testing for voltage. They need a little time to settle out before a true voltage reading can be made. A battery that reads 12.8V right after a charge will actually read 12.6V or lower once it settles. 12.6V or better is a good battery. At around 12.4V you've got a battery working around 75% capacity at best. Anything lower than that and it's time to consider changing it.
After the battery settles and reads 12.6v or better, you can then test the battery voltage during a start up. The voltmeter reading should not drop below around 9.5 volts. If it does, you're likely to have issues starting up in colder weather.
If the battery passes that test, you can then do a charging test. A good battery will read between 14.0 and 14.5V with the engine running at 3000 RPMs.
If the battery passes all 3 tests, I see no reason to replace it. If any are borderline, it's a judgement call on your part so far as peace of mind goes.
Do you have a 2volt trickle charger?
