1 issue and your ready to throw in the towel?? Hey man, things break no matter who makes it or what it is!! Take it to the dealer and have it fixed under warranty

 

Is this your first Harley?

Is this your first bike?

It's a machine, made by people - people make mistakes.

You're in IT right? Bet you've never had a new computer crap out on you

Call the dealership and let them fix it. I'd be surprised if they didn't come and pick it up (rather than you needing to get it to them).

Good luck with it.

 

It sounds like forgot to turn kill switch back to run. Been know to happen especially with new riders.

 

Move to Lexington, KY. Labor is only $75 hr.

 

I did that once. I ended up calling a tow truck and having it towed twenty miles to the dealer. When I got there I noticed the kill switch. I flicked it on and it started right back up. It wasn't a Harley though, it was a Honda. Damn, unreliable Hondas!

 

You do realize that the red oil light is for oil pressure and will stay on if the engine is not running, right?

 

I made the mistake when first riding to shut the fuel off when filling up and forgetting to turn it back on before hitting the hwy. Merged into traffic and got into the left lane just as it cut out and didn't have a shoulder to pull onto except for the right side - made my way over almost getting killed by a SUV and of course couldnt find out why I wasn't getting fuel. Called a buddy to come get me and of course while he was on his way I remembered the fuel switch - felt like such an idiot but never made that mistake again!!

 

I bet pushing it a mile sucked.

 

I've been there with the run/stop switch. With no starts that's the first thing I'll look at. I'm old school, do the new H-D's have the neutral safety switches in the clutch and jiffy stand now? Relays,fuses and switches are made in lots of hundreds and thousands it's always possible one bad one could get installed or fail in a couple or hundreds of cycles. Sit down with the dealer, give a list of your issues and give them a chance to make it right.

 

Thanks for all the reply guys, to answer a few questions,
I have over 19 years of riding experience, so no newbie deal here. If I hit the start button there is absolutely no juice (engine does not crank). Not to trash HD in general but the bike (my specific) had front rotor replaced when it had 150 miles on it! and now this. As you can imagine it does not instill confidence.
I did not run empty to the gas station, had about a half gallon of fuel in it when I filled it up. I can imagine some minor issues when you run dry on fuel injected systems.
