I just got done riding and I parked in my driveway because I had to clean some stuff out of my gargage, then I went back out and my bike would not start! I had my fob, everything was switched on, the bike will turn over but will not start. Any ideas? I am going to go out today and buy new batteries for my fob, hopefully that is all that is the problem. If you have any other ideas, feel free to email me: crutcheod@hotmail.com Thanks everyone!

Had/have the same problem. Disconnect and reconnect your quick-connect fuel line, under the left side of the tank.
Apparently it's a common problem with pressure buildup at the connection.
The fix is replacement of the regulator unit inside the tank.
To disconnect it, push up on the chrome ring and pull down on the line.
To reconnect just snap back into place.

Glad I could help!
I found on my bike the pressure usually bled down in exactly 1 hour anyway. Although being stranded in the Colorado Rockies 50 miles from anything, can get you creative. I didn't find out the trick until after I welded my positive cable to my exhaust pipe!!!! I thought it was some sort of electrical problem at that point.
Live and learn......
I had the same issue with my '07 FLHX. Checked all connections, then googled the problem. Disconnected the fuel line and reconnected it and...Viola! Got the thunder back
