Default Bike won't start
Last Sunday bike wouldn't start just zing, zing zing. Dealer replaced starter, today picked up bike stop by store hour later and no start. It sounds like starter engaging it's like no fuel but tank is half full. Any ideas, this is embrassing see my bike towed twice in four days.

Default Sensors
Might be the crank sensors or one of the other senors.

Just went thru this with my 02 Police Glide, no spark, no fuel. Started out as an intermittent problem. Found that the Crankshaft postioner sensor was faulty. When it failed it ohmed at 5 Mohm. New one ohms at 1k ohm.

Dealer says there is a valve in fuel take that open and closes when it wants to. Nearest replacement is in North Texas. Part will be at dealer Tuesday. No riding this weekend and we leave the 10th for 3 week trip to L.A. and Santa Fe. Hope this fixes the problem, hate to break down on the road out of town.
