Smile 2007 Street Glide Starting Issue - HELP

I have a 2007 Street Glide. Here is the issues that just started accruing. The bike sits in the garage for about 4 to 5 days. I go to start the bike and start riding. I stop to get gas shut the bike off fill up, Now the bike will not start, No clicking noise or anything when i go to start the bike. I let the bike sit for about 20 Min doing nothing, bike starts right up. I ride another 70 Mile no problem i shut the bike off the same issues accrues.

1) I Replace the battery it's New.
2) I replace both Batteries on the FOB's, when i go to start the bike the security signal is off on the dash.
3) This has been going on for about three weeks.

Any suggestion will help.

I'd check all cable connections, on both ends. Also check maxi fuse and other fuses as they may have an issue that only pops up when hot.

Ignition switch, kill switch connections, starter button.

I know of at least one bike that would not start and there was bug guts under the starter button preventing contact.

Also check under the seat near battery is the connection for the security system antenna. No antenna no go. Had similar problem with my 08. Was going over connections and squeezed that one......CLICK . Aha moment. Started right up. Doubtful it's battery. Would have trouble starting after 5 days. Not after running and shutting off for 5 min. Any work done to bike prior to problem cropping up??

Thank you for all the information . I am going to check all the fuses.


The only service that i had done was i changed all the fluids. brakes and tires

The bike only has 15K Miles on it. I really think it is the security i am gong to check all the cables and the antenna that s under the seat..

Does this occur when you are riding with your buddies? I have friends that will flip the kill switch when I'm not looking.

There is also a bank angle sensor that have been known to go bad. But they reset when you turn the ignition off then back on.

Not clear if you have any power "on" indication at all.

Overide the security with a manual entry.

If you have indicators, does the neutral indicator illuminate?

I ran into this intermittent problem and the main battery cable was loose at the starter. I've found other people with this same problem.

I road the bike last night, shut it off and tried to start it right away and for the first time i heard a little clicking noise, it may be just the battery cable to the starter i will check and tighten it tonight. I waited about 15 Min after that and it started right up.

THX for the Info
