Default 2009 Roadking Classic Will Not Start
My Roadking will not start. I washed the bike, started it up to pull in the garage, pulled in and went to rev the motor, but the throttle wasn't working. I shut it off and went to re-start...the fuel injection kicked in, but the motor will not turn over. Just completely dead. Any idea's?

Let it dry for a day or two and then retry it. HD doesn't use dielectric grease in the connectors, so moisture can sneak into the connectors sometimes.

Why don't you take it back to the dealership? It's got to be under warranty if it's on '09, right?

Don't think they'll charge you for coming to pick up a bike that's under warranty?

Starter wires loose? Water in fly-by-wire throttle? Does your Owner's Manual have a trouble shooting section?
