The Harley Davidson sportster comes with built in security system you will have to use remote dongle that came with bike. If you dont have the remote go to Youtube and look for resetting security system for 2009 Sportster

SOURCE: 93 HD Sportster 1200 will not start!

Have you tried to bypass the starter button/switch? Use a heavy jumper wire to go between the starter terminal and the positive battery terminal. Turn the key to "On" position, make sure "Run/Off" switch is turn on. Make sure bike is in neutral. I've started guys bikes with coat hangers before when they lost had trouble with the starter button. If the bike starter turns over, you'll at least have a place to start looking for the issue. Also you said you checked the battery, what was the voltage?

Testimonial: "Thanks for the info. I tried your solutions, but bike will still not start. Do not see any pinched wires. When you push the start button the ignition circit pops and then resets. Any other suggestions would be great. Thanks for all your help phinfanls13"

SOURCE: 2009 gsxr 600 does not start. Clutch engaged fuel

Well its not starting because you don't have enough voltage. The most likely reason your battery is low is because your not charging when riding due to a bad rectifier/regulator, they go out a lot on GSX-R's. Had to replace mine 3 times already on a 2009 gixxer 600, they put them in a bad place and they get so hot they go bad.

Is that correct?

2009 sportster relay switch clicking

Check your battery connections and make sure they are tight where the positive cable attatches to the starter and the negative cable attatches to ground. Sportsters are notorius for this type of problem when the cables are loose.

I have a 2009 harley sportster 1200c can i change the derby cover with out removing the oil

Yes, although I don't work on the later model bikes, I do believe you can do this because you have to take the derby cover off to adjust the clutch and you don't have to drain the oil to do that.

Good Luck

Starter could be jammed have you tried to pop start it? Are you getting power to the starter? Kill switch isnt on is it? Never should have left the dealer it was running when you took it there.

Breakers keep kicking off when starting 2000 Harley Sport XLHC

Battery connections have been the leading cause of what you've described. Turn the key, everythings in order, then contact! Instead of potato potato, it's just "click" and lights out. If this sounds familiar, check that battery is tight. Grounds are netorius for coming loose due to sporty vibrations.
