09 Ultra didn't start....
09 Ultra didn't start after I filled it with gas. I heard a klunk noise by the lower part of the engine. When I tried to start again, the fuel pump sounded (as usual) but then a clicking noise w/ absolutly no turn over. Dealer has bike now. I'll let you guys know thats happening.

Just talk to dealer. after checking battery and loosening starter, mechanic determined the main ground for the bike, bolt was loose. After tightening it, dealer says it's ok. Hope he is right. i'll keep you posted.

The clunk noise was most likely the solenoid engaging - remember you only have 12 volts - a loose connection could drop several volts. The result would be insufficient voltage to push the starter's current demand. I would have suspected the positive as the culprit myself. Good call by the wrench.
