So my bike stalled on me about three weeks ago
i turn on the bike the neutral light and oil light come on i turn the red prime switch and the light doesnt come on and the engine doesnt
prime. theres no noise at all. I replaced the relays and checked all the fuses. The battery has power. I do not want to bring it in because all they do is rip you off. Anyone have any leads as how to trouble shoot this problem

Better post then the other one. Check your safety circuit, kick stand switch, clutch switch, neutral switch and Bank angle sensor(Tilt).

I have a 2006 Buell XB9SX with about 11,000 miles on it that I recently pick up from a friend of mine who religiously maintained the bike and had zero problems with it. About three weeks or so ago the bike would not start one morning. Eventually I did get it to start and it ran normally to my destination. When I tried to restart it to return home it again started only after several tries. It has not restarted since then. To make a long story short the dealer now has had the bike for three weeks and cannot figure out what the problem is. Several different codes have led them all over the place, i.e. no spark condition, no fuel pressure. etc. Minutes later different codes are spit out and previous conditions seem to have changed. (Spark one minute, then no spark. fuel pressure five minutes ago but not currently) They say they have replaced the ECM, the crank sensor, and I guess the coil but still won't fire up. This has baffled all the techs (some with ten years experience). They have deduced that it may be something within the wiring harness, like an open wire or bad ground maybe. Have any of you ever heard of such?

Drummerman,

Check your fuses carefully, I had that happen to me and it ended up being a tiny gap in a fuse.

Unfortunately I am having the same exact problem as you again. I'm working on my other Buell so I haven't looked into it again.

The funny thing is that if I remove my instrument cluster fuse, the bike starts. Try that and let me know if you have similar results.
