    Check the fuel line conection at the tank,push up on it as you try to start it.if you are sure the pump is working
    the relay should be ok.Cant see how it ties in with changing the battery though.

    The quick connect is the chrome fitting directly under the tank on left side, & just above ignition coil and should be connected to the fuel line. Make sure it is connected properly, just like an airline quick connection.

    hi,

    unplug the ecm and plug back in after a few minutes and see what happens, could be worth a try

    thanks

    If your still running the original fuel filter that could be an issue.I would check to see if the fuel system is holding pressure
    before I went tearing into that though.Also have you checked for error codes yet.

    Hi,

    Jesus this a ripper, changed battery for new one, bike cranks but not start, if spray fuel in throttle body it starts

    Fob battery changed
    All connections at throttle body checked

    Just go thru the motions of checking fuses again, battery ground and connections, see what happens

    Unplug fuel device if have one
    Thanks

    I am also thinking ECM. I had a night train do the same thing by the sounds of it. It felt like it was about to start but just couldn't quite get there. I had the luxury of having 3 bikes all the same model, I pulled the ECM and associated security components from one of the other bikes and installed them to the bike that wouldn't start and she started.

    Do you have the pin code for your HD security system?

    Does it fire and then cut out without spraying fuel in throttle body ?

    Well guys I think this old fart needs a hearing aid. Like I said I turn on the ingition hear what I thought was the fuel pump pressuring up but still no fuel.

    My old mate Piker comes around and said he could not hear the fuel pump working.

    Bullshit said I listen? Turn on the ingition and sure enough that noise that I thought was the pump comes in.

    Pikers comment!! you dick head that something to do with the alarm.

    So it turns out changing the battery had nothing to do with starting. Coincidently the fuel pump shat it's self at the same time.

    Cost of pump from harley D $340.00 BUGGER
