2009 Roadking Classic Will Not Start

Itaewon · #1 08-23-2009, 10:57 AM

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?

checked the battery? fuse box? How was bike washed? hose, pressure washer, mitt and bucket?
P.S. BTW, welcome.

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?

Use you H O G membership. That's what you have it for...and why you pay for it....

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?

Ya didn't happen to hit the "KILL" switch while you were washing it, did ya?
Just sayin.

Did you check for trouble codes, do a search for codes? The thread will explain how to and a list of codes and what they mean
