so today, i go out to my driveway, throw the leg over, and turned my bike on...i have a 2007 nightster by the way...and i turn the key on, hear the fuel injection turn on, and hit the start button...turns over, cranks about 3 times, shuts off...happens again, did it about 10 times, then finally gave up and drove to work...what could happen to do this??

 

Got gas?

 

My bud just bought a '07 883 Custome. 300 miles later, it failed to start and run. Period. The shop came and got it and after messing with it, they said it needed a new F/I system. Dealership also said that this was somewhat of a common problem with them. UGH!

 

y is everything a common problem? These manufacturers, especially Harley are suppose to be professional builders, experiance casts alot of money. you pay between 10-20 or more thousand for a piece of machinery and you expect it to work the way its suppose to, I understand there are human error, but A COMMOM PROBLEM????????????????
I DONT THINK SO!!!

 

man thats all i hear is problems with the newer harleys. Carb models im thinking they arent so bad. I got a 2001 and havent had one issue with it, not one. id be pissed to have a new one crap out on me.

 

Reference fuel pump regulator failure, numerous posts on this subject. Sorry to hear about it, hopefully your dealer can get you the new part and get you back on the road soon.

 

Here is a manual with a trouble shooting section that may help you.

yeah im going to call tomorrow and see whats going on...2 days earlier, they had to pull my pipes off and install a new heat shield (recalled)...ever since then, its been popping more and then this happened...could this be the source of my problems?? (O2 sensor bumped??)

 

my buddys 07 had to have fuel regulator replaced, sorry to hear yer having this problem.

 

i have a 2006 sporster and have problems when i turn the key on it's okay but when i hit the run button everthing turns off no starter, nada when i unplug the battery and hook it up again it sorta resets itself again but if i do it again nothing every thing shuts off again
