I'm confused . . . the 1.18.1 has been, and continues to be available. I just checked it again. Given you've given no indication of what bike you're trying to update you tie our hands, other than it's available for both the Standard and Premium versions. So again, what's the point here?


Here's the link . . .http://www.harley-davidson.com/conte...downloads.html


Select whether you have the Standard or Premium Radio, scroll to the bottom of the page, and bing, bang, boom there's the link.

BING, BANG, BOOM! YOU'RE RIGHT!!

I downloaded the update awhile back, installed it, and have noticed some improvements. And, realize on this issue I So it's been unavailable for while then . . . that's odd, as you all concluded without my dumb ***.

Ride on . . . .

Turn off your internet cache. It's pulling up old data from before. Go there again and refresh your page and it'll say download not available.

Thanks for your reply. I have tried to do that a few times to no avail. Still defaults back to the weather band. Maybe the Moco will fix it?

You can turn the weather band completely off. Then it won't switch over.
