Well Hello, it s little scary going into a forum so that I don't say anything that would be un becoming in a forum not to create an issue with the rules., Well anyway I had or owned Harleys in the past such as an old 76 kicker, an 82 Old Iron sportster, an 883 XL and now an XL 1200 C which I purchased in 2013. Just recently the 2007 XL 1200 C has developed a starting issue that is really weird.
In that if I press the rocker switch from kill to run and then press start, nothing happens, and the battery is brand new, if I toggle the strarter switch back to kill, and then back to strart, and press start, it will start right up. I realize that a service manual would help greatly in ID-ing the kill switch and I'm only assuming its part number, So the question is has anyone run into this same issue and if indeed the kill switch is the issue? I'm thinking that even though the kill switch is toggled out of the kill position, that it isn't and won't allow it to start, what do you think?
