So I managed to secure my bike in the moving truck and got it to Seattle just fine. Thanks to all those who gave advice in that thread.

But now it won't start. It was fine before.

The lights go on, the EFI gets going, but it won't turn over. Nothing. I checked to see if the plug cables got loose, nope.

Is there anything else I should check?

 

Check your bank angle sensor!!

 

Try the system relay in the fuse box I think it could be bad. This has happen to mine. It's cheap thing to try.

 

My Indy advised me about traveling with a bike that has a security feature. Does your bike have the security option? If it does and you didn't secure the FOB to your bars or somewhere close by on the bike during travel the security system will act as if it were stolen. Supposedly you would have to reset the security system. Not sure if thats what's happening to yours or the validity of that warning I received. Good luck.

 

It sounds to me like the security system. (If you don't, might as well skip the rest of this.) Besides possibly needing to be reset it could also be the key fob battery.

 

Thanks to all for your ideas.

No security on my bike. The tilt sensor didn't go off (if it did, the indicator would be on, right?).

Only other thing I can think of is that the battery took a beating in the super cold (as opposed to my semi-heated garage back in Montana). I took the battery out and put it on a tender. We'll see how it is in the morning.

Fingers crossed. I have to fly back to Montana tomorrow afternoon and was really hoping to get a ride in before. I can't believe how many people art riding out here--no one told them it's December!

 

Check:

1. battery connections and dead battery (load test)
2. ground strap
3. fuel in tank? Did the mover drain it?
4. Fuse box..unplug and plug in each fuse & relay
5. electrical connections to starter

 

& the silly lil kill switch on the handle bar!

 

Took the battery off the tender and the bike started right up. I would have gone for a triumphal ride, but there was frost in the shadowy road.

Maybe I did something really clever like leave it in "ACC" for the whole trip or something

Thanks to all for your helpful troubleshooting suggestions.

 

Sometimes little gremlins play heck.. might have just needed some wires cleaned and re tightened...
