Default Brand new 2022 Harley won’t start

Just bought a brand new 2022 Harley 48, rode it for about 5 miles and the check engine light is on and it won’t start now. It just clicks about 3 times and then nothing.. any ideas what that would be?

Low/ dead battery, stator probably isn’t charging the battery. Bike is so new, call dealer and have them come get it and fix it.

Had the same problem with my 2016 SGS when I rode home. jumped it took back to dealer - they said battery tested good. went home with bike same thing happened. Took back to dealer they said battery was bad.
My suggestion it to swap the battery and avoid the **** show with the dealer. I am currently on 3rd battery after 6.5 years and 48,000 miles. BTW batteries sit to long without a frequent full charge - they will die sooner then later.

Congratulations on your first post to HDF, welcome to the Forum.

No need for me to speculate or comment, as others above have provided the solution to your issue (Dealer/warranty).

Let us know how it was resolved.

Best Regards.

Could be as simple as loose connections at the battery terminals, the vibration of a Sportster makes this a common problem.

Under warranty don't mess. Get the dealer to do the work.
