Howdy,

Based upon my search function efforts, I think I have figured out the problem; but I just want to make sure. 2009 RKC doesn't always turn over when I hit the ignition. The lights come on, the fuel pump does it's thing, the security lights blink (I have thought this might be a security system quirk...), and then I hit the start button...nothing. doesn't turn over, lights don't "dim."

I do this a couple of times and then she fires up.

Thoughts?

Thanks

I wouldn't think the FOB battery was gone this soon on a 09 bike . IMO Cheap fix if it is though, best value from HD you will get for the money. LOL

 

When my fob battery went out that was it! It would not start, no many how many times I tried. Buy myself a new fob battery for my birthday every year now.

 

Throw your security override code in, then hit the starter. That'll tell you for sure.







You did set up an override code......................................... right?

 

Uh....no. I'm the second owner.

 

Don't matter. If you have a good FOB and battery, you can set a new code.

 

You are suppose to change the battery every year.
However I ran mine two years without a problem, but I canged it about a month ago anyway because I was going to the Hill Country.

This is the one time HD is cheaper than Walmart.
My delaer was out, so I bought mine at Wally World though.

 

but you did get an owners manual with the bike? if you did, it shows you how to retrieve the stored code, and reset it with something that means something to YOU...

after all, if you lose your fob out in bfe, you aren't gonna call the first owner to override it are you?

 

If the security lights are blinking continuously it is definitely the security/fob battery problem. If they just flash once as normal it is probably not security problem. If you have security horn it will be blasting also.
I have had mine not start a couple of times and wiggling the master on/off switch got it to work. Really high quality systems. I wouldn't put up with this in a new car, but it is ok cause it is a motorcycle and they are cheaper than cars ha! Just part of the experience, but I do still love it. Also won't start if tip over switch gets activated and you recycle the handle bar on off switch, but fuel pump won't run either if that is the problem.

 

When my fob battery went in less than 2yrs. & yes what "ke5rbd" said. Good luck
