Default 2010 Sportster 48 PROBLEM!!

I took my bike out today without incident. About an hour later I went to take it out again and turned the key and got full electrical. However, the normal sound of the fuel injector filling did not happen, and I was unable to start the bike. I did not get an error code on the tac.

I checked all of the battery connections and they appear to be tight.

I am definitely a rookie with bikes.

Any advise please?

fuel pump. it may be on a fuse. but that is the noise you hear when you turn your key to the on position. Was it turning over but not starting?

Since you said you are a rookie w bikes, easy things first. Is it in neutral? Run switch set to on? Not meaning to sound rude but its easy to overlook the simple stuff

SD1: I have the ignition on fully, but the bike does nothing after that. I get the usual indication lights on the tac, but it seems like the fuel injector isn't priming. So it turns on but will not turn over. Do you know where the fuse is for the fuel injector?

Chevy:Youre not being rude, I am a rookie as far as mechanical issues go, this is my first major issue. I went back and did all of the initial steps to ensure it wasn't me. However, the problem still remains. The only thing I can see and I stated above is that the fuel injector is not getting power.

Check the switch on the handle bars (right one) and make sure it is not set to off. I have hit mine accidentally getting off one day and it freaked me out when I went back later.

Its next to the battery. Its not well protected, chance the fuse got blown or possibly corrosion and a short. I would look there first.
