Won’t start 😢

Don't know if you've tried this yet or not but mine did the exact same thing. After spending 20 minutes trying to chase it out I grabbed the battery terminals and twisted them at the battery with force. Negative did not budge but the positive just budged a little. I tightened up both terminals and the problem was taken care of.

Thanks .
I’ve had battery terminals off & cleaned and made sure nice and tight when put back on .
Thank you for reply , looking like trip to main dealers next week to hopefully get it going 😢

Did you get this resolved? Mine is in the shop for similar issue. Tried all the troubleshooting from our forum mates suggestions. I started my own thread, but want to know if you got yours resolved to compare notes.

I only use a hosepipe around the swinging arm/back end, exhaust, wheels and lower engine as these are the only bits that get really dirty. For the rest it's a bucket and cloth/sponge/brushes.
Dowsing instrument clusters, switches and electrical connections on any bike is asking for trouble. Using a hot air bike dryer after washing definitely helps prevent internal corrosion of electrical parts.
The only bike I'd ever take a pressure washer near would be a dirt bike.
 
...i know you have checked the clutch switch but try this...they can be fickle...pull the clutch in and see if it is in fact opening the points...if it has moved at all it wont...good luck.
Also check the kickstand switch. I was also thinking about the main 40 amp fuse receptacle on my bike as pulling that fuse will kill the bike under any condition. Might be loose connector to it. But now I'm reading several people having the same issue, changing how I'm looking at this...
 
The water gets into the button of handlebar controls and eventually corrode the connections leading to poor connections on Red ignition starter switch, i think someone else had same problem here few months ago

Next are -
Clutch switch
Side stand switch
Starter relays
fuses
NEVER, EVER wash your controls! Cover them with plastic bags or plastic wrap. This could also be the starter relay.
 
Hi all
We have a 2021 rocket 3 gt , I gave the bike a wash last week after I rinsed it off I fired it up and let it tick over while I dried down bodywork , it was absolutely fine , I put it away until few days ago when I got it out, it switches on fine fuel pump runs but just when I press starter button nothing whatsoever.
I’ve checked and cleaned battery terminals ,battery always on charger and shows 12.8 volts , I’ve checked clutch switch with continuity tester and seems to be working , I don’t know what else to check , it’s looking likely for a trip in a van to a main dealer .
If anyone has any ideas they would be great fully received .
Many thanks swellsy .
NEVER< EVER wash your controls! NEVER!
