First check to see if you have any stored diagnostic trouble codes. You may have a bad crank position sensor or a bad ignition. If you have no further clues, try the crank position sensor 1st.

how do i fix a mainshaft leak in my 1981 4 speed tranny?
Take it to a qualified Harley Davidson MECHANIC. Not a job for the faint of heart.
I have a 2003 ultra classic no spark. Should I have power to the coil with the key on
I see your question was posted in February. Has this been resolved? You say a 1981 4 speed, is it a Sportster or a Big Twin?
I was riding a backroad about 20 miles from home when my FLHX sputtered then quit. Had plenty of gas and still had lights on dash, but wouldn’t start. Long story short, turn out to be battery voltage too low. Never noticed any problem cranking bike before, but new battery solved the problem.
I have Harley 2007 Sportster 1200C. I removed the security system and replaced with stock module. Now bike starts and runs for five seconds and shuts off. Any help troubleshooting would be appreciated.
We are fairly certain that the new TSM needs to be married to your ECM.
You will need the dealership’s Digital Technician or go to an independent that is capable.

I have a 2000 Heritage Softail Classic. I turn the ignition switch on and the speedometer does not light up, the odometer does not work and the engine light does not work as well as the turn signals, the neutral and oil pressure light work as well as the head lights. the bike starts and runs. even with the bike running the speedometer and odometer still don’t work. Any suggestions on what would cause this and how to fix.
Thanks,
Ron
We suggest starting with testing your fuses.

Check the ignition switch . its a two piece and separates a little.
My 2006 Sportster 1200L does the same thing. It used to be intermittent but has been like this most of this past summer. It’s always been suggested to me that it is a loose ground somewhere. If you can judge your speed by gear and sound, it’s just a simple annoyance. And of course you don’t know exactly how many miles you have on the bike if that’s a concern.
I am no mechanic but the 1st. thing I would do is clean all battery terminals and you might be surprised how simple of a fix it might be….good luck…
You might want to check the run/off switch on handlebars. I had one go bad once and had same findings.
EXCACTLY what did you do when testing for spark at the plugs?
How did you arrive at the conclusion that the coil was faulty?
i have the same problem, but the spark at the plug is small
I have a 2000 FXDX. For the past year it will start, run fine for about 10 minutes, then the electricals shut off. Everything! I’ll reset the ignition and it runs for a few seconds before doing it again, and on, and on, and on. I did nothing electrical to it before it started acting up. Any ideas before I bring it to a shop?
If you are losing all electrical function including lights, you need to start testing at the battery and work your way out from there. Have the battery professionally load tested. Could have a bad battery. Inspect both ends of each battery cable. Make sure the ends are clean & secure. Inspect your main breaker & your ignition switch.
When your electrical cuts out; turn off the ignition switch and listen for a tick/click sound. If heard, it could be the main breaker being tripped.
You will need to use a test light or multimeter to accurately diagnose.

Where can I purchase a code reader?
Don’t need a code reader. Google how to read the codes for your make and model, you can do it from the bike. Then google the codes you may get and read all boards on that topic.
2009 street glide
I have a 96 softail, when I turn the ignition switch nothing happens, No lights on the dash, odometer, head light, or tail lights. Brand new battery, I charged it back to 100% and still nothing. Any ideas?
Make sure that you are using a quality, fully charged, known good battery and that your battery cables are clean and secure. Inspect both ends of each battery cable. From there, inspect your main breaker/ main breaker connections and ignition switch.

I have a 94 fxsts rode 100miles then the low beam burnt out. 2 more blocks the high beam blew. 4 more blocks I got home. shut it down. and went inside. in thew morning I turned the key and nothing. I looked at breakers and the ignition breaker had two red wires connected to on side had come off. charged the battery . put the wires back on and when I turned the key the dash lights came on but the battery droped to 10 vdc. what happened?
Hello. Can be a number of things on a bike that is almost 25 yrs old.
Use a fully charged, known good, quantity battery to start the bike.
Then perform a full charging system test.

I have the exact same issue on my 99 Sportster, the ignition module is bad. It can be easily tested by removing the plate to expose the module. with the key in the on position (make sure your in neutral) hit the starter button, if the light on the module blinks while cranking, it’s no good. My bike has only 26,000 miles on it! Screaming Eagle Sucks!
THISis a 1991 softail that wont stay running
THISis a 1991 softail that wont stay running found weak spark at spark plug
Tengo una Softail Delux 2008 al salir de trabajar ya no quizo encender pensé que la batería estaba muerta pero en un intento encendió sin problema alguno, al día siguiente ya no quiso encender nuevamente cargue la batería y tampoco, compre batería nueva y la instale y no quiso revise códigos de error y me marca número de piezas P68925-07 y P67439-08 entiendo que uno es el modulo de seguridad pero si recibe señal del llavero pero no deja encender el motor solo deja hacer chispa muy baja
I have a 2003 ultra classic with no spark. should I have power to the coil with ignition on. I replaced the ignition already. All fuses good. I did notice the system relay kicks on then back off.
Dear Richard,
Thank you for your patience. In response to your question-
No. You will not have constant power to the coil on your Ultra.
Suggest replacing your crank position sensor. It’s the most common reason for no spark on your year and model HD.

I have a 2009 Fatboy 96 cubic in I fart at first I thought it was water in the tank then I drained it completely and it’s still doing it it’s throwing a code p 0373 and when I look it up it says ckp sensor intermittent I’m not sure why where it’s located or what to do from here
Hello John!
Here is what Mark had to say regarding your question:
Your crank position sensor is located near the end of your oil filter. You may have a failing crank position sensor. Also inspect the plug & harness for the sensor.
