Is your run/stop switch in the stop position?

Have you tested load @ terminals w/multi-meter (volts vs. amps) & was it @ 12.6V? Also, make sure connections are clean & tight - my guess is battery took a dump w/all the static & movement while in transport...good luck & DON'T JUMP BIKE w/CAR + JUMPERS!!! Easiest way to screw things up...

As stated before you should have the battery load tested. Any good automotive store should be able to load test the battery for you. If the battery checks out good I would check to ensure the battery cables are tightened down not just at the battery but on the starter for positive and the frame for ground. Does your bike have an alarm on it? (If so either change the batteries in the fob or use the manual override code to disable the alarm).Do you hear the fuel pump turning on to prime the system? Also it is virtually impossible to push start a FI bike. The CPS needs needs several rotations of the crank before it will send a signal to let the bike start. The fuel injectors need power as well as the ecm. The only time I would attempt to push start the bike is if the starter was bad and the battery was fully charged and I had a very steep hill to go down. Another option would be to jump out the starter solenoid to see if the bike at least turns over, but start with the battery first as it might be bad for sitting for so long. Good luck and keep us updated....

Out of curiosity, the battery max amps is at 19amps, during the initial starting time how much amps does it actually require to startup, the HD mech here says it uses all the 19amps is that true?

Is it in neutral or the clutch lever pulled in? That exact thing happened to me earlier in the year on a ride and I was more embarrassed than Oprah after staining her shirt/tent from downing 6 racks of ribs.
Also I believe when my fob battery went dead all the lights worked and horn but it wouldn't start at all which sounds like your problem again.
Check those.

Just had that happen to my bike. Took out the key fob batt.tested it it had 2.8v replaced it with a new batt. and the bike started no problem. If the key fob batt is low all the lights ect. work fine just the starting circuit will not work. Also would like to know more about what it is like to have your Harley in India. always fantacise riding my Dyna when I am on my 500 Enfield in India, except when I bottom out on a speed bump.
