2015 Road King Sudden Failure To Start
Hello everyone, almost 50k on this bike, never had a starting issue until today. Gave it a good wash then went for a ride. Check engine light came on. Codes ECM PO154, PO562, speedometer 61210 and 61211. 3 had to do with low voltage and 1 related to an O2 sensor. I thought that if I possibly could have knocked something loose as I was washing it and I did find a connection at the O2 sensor that was loose. Secured the wire. I also had the battery checked, tested good. 12.4 v and 11v under load. It turns over once or twice then a stuttering series of clicks. All battery connections are clean and tight. Checked the fuses. I'm a little suspicious that it happened just after I washed it. Any advice on what to do next would be appreciated.

how old is the battery. past weekend took my bike off the tender turned over 2 times then it started clicking. checked voltage...12.4. checked voltage while cranking and it was 10 something. I had a new battery on the charger..installed it and all good. battery was a little over 3 years old. granted I'm pulling 2000 watts when I crank up the radio when parking lot pimping so I knew it was on borrowed time. if yours is old I see a new one in your future.

When you washed your bike, did you by chance use a high pressure washer and point the wand directly at any of the connectors and sensors on the bike? High pressure washers shouldn't be used because there's always a risk of water can be forced into places it shouldn't be.
If you used a high pressure washer, then water incursion could have been your problem. If not.. It was my best guess
