Default Dang Bike WON'T START!!!!

2007 Street Bobbeen in the garage since November attached to the battery tender. FULL battery...turn the ignition and the lights flash (don't remember that happening before...but memory isn't my strong suit), fuel pump comes on. Hit the starter and NOTHING (nada, zilch). Checked the fuses and they all seem to be fine. Tried both of my keys...nope. Where do I go from here (without trailering the dang thing to the dealer just so's he can tell me what an idiot I am for not checking THIS whatever).

If you have a key fob, change the battery in it.

Tanks Mike, like I said "(without trailering the dang thing to the dealer just so's he can tell me what an idiot I am for not checking THIS whatever)".
I'll change battery this week.

You might also check the wire to the starter. Jiggle it around and see what happens. These connectors can get too loose and fail. I have had to replace mine. New piece costs about a buck.

you can also use your bypass code first to see if it is the battery in the fob

My lights flash and the bike won't start when the alarm is on.

Did the alarm system default to a sleep mode? Both of mine go into hibernation . I turn on the ignition turn it off then cycle the alarm off then on then off. It's a pain, but I know what's going on with the bikes I have.
