Which fuse in particular? I replaced both starter and system relay, and all 15amp fuses were all good. If I am missing one someplace other than the fuse box, I am open to other things to look for if my previous thought is incorrect (which I am sure it is)

 

Update

Took it in at lunch. Technician was pretty cool, brought out a laptop and plugged it in on the trailer. Had some codes dealing with the stupid security system, still nothing after he reset those. So he said it may be the Turn Signal Control Module, which runs with the security system IIRC. So I let em have the bike. Called n left a message 15 min later that that was it, ordering it and it will be fixed next week. Need to call back and see if I can replaced it myself to save $$ or if it needs puter work after. Also said if he can delete the security system to DO IT. Silly option IMO anyway

 

The starter ralay seems to be the problem I own a 2008 Nightster and the same thing happens to me. I washed it a couple of days ago and she started doing the same thing had to replace the battery last August for the same reason. I ordered a new relay from denniskirk.com at the tune of $12.99 and $7.99 shipping and handling, and while I wait for my new relay to arrive I have been yanking the relay out of it's socket when it sits and put it back in when I am going to ride it for the past two days I have done this and the bike starts up every time.

 

The relays in the Sporty are very common automotive relays, you can buy them at any auto parts store for less than $10.00. The last one I bought at NAPA was ~$7.00.

The NAPA p/n is AR614

 

I plan on deconstructing my old relay when I get my new and if the new actually solves the problem and testing the diode. I have read that a blown clamping diode will allow current to go to ground dischaging the battery.

 

Cheap $5.00 test light + 10 minutes tops = job done right first time!

You beat me to the post!!

BTW - you can remove the security system by replacing the turn signal module with a standard one.

 

I have a xl883n 2010, I am trying to troubleshot why it won't start. I turn the key on and lights come on however no fuel pump prime and when I hit the start I get a loud click. Its coming from the fuse box, its the starter relay.

Question, how do I test to see if it is the starter relay? and where can I get one?

Help...

Buy the diagnostics manual.

 

If you don't hear the fuel pump, it that relay not the starter. There are only 2 so buy 2 and keep a spare. You can also try tapping them on a hard surface in an emergency. You can also push start if starter relay. If fuel pump relay bad, switch with starter eelay and push start.
