Motorcycle Repair: 96 1200c sportster electric start, starter relay, oil light


Question
my bike has always started easily and never any noises from the starter and today I turn the key and headlight and oil light come on as always but when I hit the button nothing happens not a sound and the light is bright like always is maybe there a fuse somewhere or could you kinda tell me what to look for or to do? because I didn't even ride it yesterday I just started it and warmed it up for about 5 minutes and shut it off and was on it today and ready to ride when this happened..LOL

Answer
Did you have the on/off switch in the on position? Look under the cover on the right and check the fuses. If the fuses are good then with a test light see if you have power goign to the starter relay and see if you have power going to the starter when you hit the starter button.
Good luck and happy riding
