Kinney, they had your bike for a week and nothing. Time for a visit and maybe acting up. Ask them who is your regional manager. Tell them you want to contact him. Put in a call to Harley. Another thing, don't buy another bike on impulse.

They ordered a ECM. They had a hard time figuring out why it was acting up. Should be in tomorrow. Hope that is the fix.

Yeah, that's what they replaced on mine, but they blamed my FP3 & denied warranty which is complete




Good luck

Default Ecm?

Are EMC failures common?

They called yesterday, said bike was fixed. They are 60 miles away, so I called them and said I am on my way. The guy said he would get it ready for me. Five minutes later he called back, and said it acted up again. So it wasn't the ECM. Crap. Said they have been in contact with Harley techs trying to figure it out.

Sorry to hear it is not fixed. I know the summer is fading - but am certain the dealer will find the issue. Since you did not have an extended warranty, ask how long they will warranty "this fix" in case it happens again.

Good luck

Aren't the high-tech-wonder-systems on these bikes just the most marvelous things on earth - when they work - and a total PIA when they don't, since you're (we're) having to rely on clueless hacks to figure out what the problem is?
