Unhappy Bike won't turn over:

Hello folks, I have ran into a problem that I have never had previously; when I go to start my 2007 streetglide it does not turn over and my silent alarm is going off, lights flashing, turn signals flashing, I have my key fob with me and this usually overrides the alarm and the bike starts, not this time, any help with this would be appreciated, I have no idea what is causing this.

thanks

Exactly why it's a good thing to change batteries every riding season. I do mine in Oct - during fire prevention month b/c this is when I change all smoke detector batteries. Easy way to remember.

Unhappy Bike won't turn over:

I changed the battery in the fob and still no go, I checked the fuses, they are good as well, lots of battery power, the only thing is when I turn off the ignition, I hear a rattling sound from the lower front of the bike. The bike ran perfect when I put it away, I push the starter button and nothing, it's like the alarm is preventing the bike from starting, is there a way to override the alarm?

Yes you should have a key code and use the trun signals. The directions are in the manual.

Key FOB batteries need to be replaced. HD Turn signal controls a bit cumbersome unless well memorized.

You don't need a new battery in the fob to get the bike to turn over. Just raise the kickstand and let the bike go. It will turn over every time.
