Ignition issues--any ideas??
So i go to start the bike, 2004 Sportster Custom 883, as i take the key to the "acc" postion gauge comes on normally go to "ignition" position and everything cuts off!! I just replaced the battery about a month ago and have rode it about 3 times since. This same problem happens everytime i try it. Any one have any ideas?? Thanks in advance!

I'd also say to go back and check the connections on the battery. Also, did you clean up the old wire ends before re-attaching them to the new battery? You could have left some crud on the wires, and it's not getting a good contact now.

so i checked the battery connections...all tight n clean...i do not have a battery tender...i rode it about 3 hours since the battery change...it does not have a security system...guess the only thing left is to put a meter on it, have to go buy one though! Thanks for all the suggestions!
