No start

[cannonball]

1999 Valkyrie with a Lehman kit. Never a problem in 50,000 miles, since '05, (2nd owner). Went to start it, after running all day, nothing. A couple of guys pushed me and it bump started. Got home, checked the battery, fuses, all ok. Next I'll check the starter motor I guess. ?????????? Cannonball

Is you headlight on all the time the ignition is on? If so, when you hit the start button, are the lights dimming a little, not at all, or practically going out?

I would start with the battery. I don't know how many car batteries I've had over the year that just went dead with no warning. If you have a volt meter, you can throw it on the battery. It should be around 12 1/2 volts. When you hit the starter, if it drops below about 11 volts your battery is probably weak. Below 9 or 10 and it's probably shot. If you don't have a volt meter, Batteries Plus or a bike dealer should have a tester.
