09 wont crank
I went to ride this morning and my Streetglide was dead. I noticed that my Battery Tender was also dead. Wierd. I put a new battery in assuming the original was too dead to take a chrge. I had a second battery tender hooked to old battery for six hours and did not do anything for it. Lights seem to still be coming on and radio as well. Yes my key fob was with me. Any ideas before I tow it to the dealer? Thanks

Before doing any of this make sure you are in neutral. With the ignition turned on you should be able to hear a relay clicking when pushing the starter button. This relay is in the fuse block located under the left side cover. If you hear the clicking then take the rubber boot that supplies the starter and roll it back and unplug the green wire from the solenoid. Take a piece of wire and jump from the starter stud to the inside of the unplugged connector on the solenoid. This will force the starter to engage and spin the motor. Good luck. Not being a smart *** but make sure of the position of the run button.

and make sure it is in NUTRUAL , then back to basics , radio takes less than it takes to start the motor , is head light on and bright , how long since you road the bike , should not need a tender during the summer if bike is ridden , although some do use them , check bat connections since you said you just changed them ,might have forgot one , was the bat you put in it new or one you had around that might allso be bad , check bat voltage

And if you have an aftermarket seat, make sure your ECM isn't being rubbed thereby unplugging it ever so slightly. Doesn't take much. Even the well made Mustang seat sometimes does this if the rubber bumpers get worn (like mine)
