Pic for attention. Bike won’t start. Screen is black. Checked the battery on the bike and fob theyre fine. Even decided to put a new battery in the fob and no luck. Drove it the other day no prob. No blown fuses. Any suggestions?

Check the battery cables.....make sure they are tight...
Not being a smartass.
But mine did that right after I got home from first pick-up.
 
Battery cables, or main fuse? You have nothing on the screen when turned on, no fuel pump priming? Not the fob then most likely, and your PIN wouldn't work anyway because you have a black screen. Could be the run switch as well (RHCM, mine was replaced under warranty due to starting issues).
 
My 2023 did this last month while ridding and thank God I was in a parking lot or it could have been a wreck.
It just went Black...
Nothing worked.
Got a friend to trailer me. Next day took it to my HD dealer and they had it two days and found nothing wrong.
It came to life after they took battery out and put it back.

Now I have lost confidence in my bike.
Did it on a funeral ride but came right back on.
NO idea.

On my '22 PanAm it happened once.
After a quick shutdown and restart to answer a call.
I got to the nearest gas station, shut down, fill her up and took my time to let the bike go to the process of loaling the screen.
It started and never happened again, like a PC reboot.
Make sure you have the latest software installed.
 
One thing to have the service tech check in voltage drop, if the stator is failing there could be a drop in voltage, talking micro volts, that can cause havoc on the Pan Am.
Just my 20 cents......(inflation)
