I checked all the switches and the starter its all good not getting power to the starter wire when I push the button any ideas
First check is to see if fuel pump runs for a few seconds after turning on. If not, there can be multiple reasons for this, last one is the ECU. The run/stop switch can fail, the systems relay can fail, fuse problem. If the fuel pump runs, then start switch may have failed. Also the start relay. If you are competent, connect a wire from the small terminal on starter motor to plus(+) side of battery momentairly. This will engage the starter motor. Make sure bike is in neutral before trying this as bike may start and take off !! If the motor starts and runs o/k then all that is wrong is either start button, start relay or wiring between these. Everything else must be o/k. If not competent, push start motorcycle using a few mates for help (this to prove motor and ECU o/k and that fault is in starter circuit).
Bad battery..
SOURCE: No power when I try to start bike, just a click…
Check the battery connections. Remove, clean and reinstall them. You probably had them off doing the wiring and they aren't making a good connection now. Always remove the negative first and install it last.

That clicking sound you are hearing may be a circuit breaker tripping indicating a short circuit somewhere. I think the starter circuit is powered by the ignition circuit. If you have a short circuit in your ignition system the breaker will trip killing power to your ignition, thus the engine dying, and preventing power for the starter circuit preventing the bike from being restarted.
On your bike, I believe there is a chrome coil cover over the coil on the left side of the bike. Check and see if this cover has come loose. I've seen them come loose and fall down on the coil connector on top of the coil shorting it out. If that ain't it, just keep looking, there's a short somewhere. Good Luck

If I understand that when you turn your switch to the "on" position, the engine starts up? If so, your starter is hung up and this isn't good. This means your starter is running all the time and that is not conducive for long starter life.
If the bike is still under warranty, take it to a dealer immediately. If not, there are several things that could be causing this problem.
You'll need either a test light or a digital volt ohm meter to test where the problem is. Look at the end of your starter from the right side of the bike. You'll see a plate shaped roughly like a pentagon (five sided) on the end with a single wire connector just above it. Unplug the connector. Insert the test light or the red probe of your meter into the wire end of the connector, not the starter part of the connector. Connect the wire from the test light or the black probe of the meter to a good ground. If using a meter, put the meter in DC voltage, 20 volt or higher range. Now, turn your switch on.
If the starter engages and starts the engine, your problem is a mechanical problem with the starter itself. If the does not engage but your test light or DVOM shows voltage on the wire, you have an electrical problem in the starter circuit. In this latter case, I'd suspect a bad starter relay. Once you determine where the problem is, repost and we can go from there.
Good Luck

Testimonial: "Thanks steve, this is a good start. It is under warranty so looks like a trip to the dealership. "

Computer has stored a code in it that the bike has fallen over, take it to a shop that can clear the code and it will be fine.

Turn the handlebars to the left and lock them with the key. Once locked, unlock and try to restart, this resets the alarm on my 2008 FLHX.
