I have an '07 Nightster, bikes been running great for the most part, well today I was getting ready for work, turned the bike on, it clicked three times then everything shut off, the bike itself never actually started up, you just heard it click then everything shut off, so now none of the lights will come on and it wont start, it doesn't try to start or anything like thats, its almost as if the battery was removed, turning the key does absolutely nothing..is this common? Someone asked me to check the sparkplugs but that wouldn't explain why any of the electrical wont come on. What about fuses? I could of swore I smelled something coming from the coil but maybe I'm just crazy, I dont know. Any advice?
Cant say I'm upset about this, with the bike having low miles and me being a mellow driver but, well, I'm not happy either hah.

Been there, tightened that. 10mm wrench, best tool to carry on a solid mount Sportster.

I'm with the others betting on it being a loose battery connection. It helps if you put on a star locking washer on reassembly to keep if from coming loose again. 
Oh, and actually put a wrench on the dang bolts because I'm tired of people saying "Well, they seemed/looked tight."

Thanks everyone for the input. I started chuckle, the minute I removed that battery cover the alarm lights started going off. I guess what happen was that when I'd tighten the negative cable, I'd then push the battery in but as I'd do that, the cable would loosen. So there you have it, thanks again everyone, glad it wasn't anything major.

Nightster wont start after fuel valve change
Hello, I need some help. I noticed a leak on the quick disconnect fuel valve on my 2007 nighster. All the fuel got out of the tank due to the leak. After I replaced the quick disconnect valve, I filled the tank slowly and checked for the leak which actually stopped. Well after the tank was filled up all the way, I tried to start the bike and it would crank, give me a nice one or two pops then it would just die. After several attempts, letting the bike sit for awhile then trying again the bike would crank once or twice then a click like sound would start. Can someone help me please.

Thank you for your reply. So I recharged the battery and found the way to get to the diagnostic mode. So after trying to crank it, the screen gave me a P0373 which is supposed to be the crank position sensor. So I just bought another one and replaced it, but it didn't work still. So I got another code which is Pn32152-076. Thank you in advance
