    I have a 2008 Road King with 10,000 miles on it. Was running great, then it just turns over and won't start. battery is good, everything else works good just no spark. Sounds like a car with the coil wire pulled. All connections are tight, What could have failed?

    I'll say no spark two thinks can cause this , coil & ecu , that's under the right side cover has a big plug at the bottom , but double check both plugs & wires first

    Plugs are good. I'll check the coil. Looks like the plug wires go under the tank. But you say the coil is under the side cover on the right. The fuse panel is under the side cover on the left and the ECU sits on top of the battery.

    Crank sensor might have bit the bullet on you,so if you find no spark at the coil don't assume it's a bad coil,not sure how to test the crank sensor other than replace it, might be a test for it in the service manual....
