Back on topic, I went to the bike to see if I could do a factory reset (which I was convinced wouldn't work on a completely dead unit) and to my surprise, the unit powered right up when I switched the bike on... I did the reset anyway, so I'll wait and see how it behaves over the next few days...
Rode a good part of today and it was flawless. So maybe an isolated incident. Who knows, but still very strange.
While there I checked on my FXR getting a new cam, lifters and rocker gaskets (to fix a small weep). Once back together she goes to Rosa’s on Long Island for a Dyno/re-jet. Can’t wait.

Hold power button while switching on directly to accessory position. Hold button for 2 seconds after agree screen appears. Agree then a menu option appears DCM I think it was called - gives an option for factory reset

Last fall I got the bike out and the screen never came on. Cycled the ignition a few times and still didnt work. Started the bike, let it run, shut it off, checked again, no Boom.
Checked the fuses, all were good, said screw it because I had to meet with friends so I put the saddlebag and side cover back on, got on the bike and sure enough, the Boom came on. Damn technology!!!
(Everything is stock still with my system by the way)

when i bought my '14 sgs ( new bike first issue of the boom), i remember the 'blank screen issue' of which i experienced twice or something like that. Others on this web experienced the same issue for a time.
each time, the screen came back after a short time each time of the two times it occurred. I don't remember if the radio itself did not work when the blank screen occurred. No one ever had a solution for it. After almost 5 years of owning my sgs I have not experienced the blank screen issue for over 4 + years. I assumed the ongoing software updates fixed the issue.

Hi all,
My 2015 RGS has had a couple incidences where the radio Boom didn't power up when I started bike. It did power on next time I started bike. Sometimes it seems the radio goes silent for 2-3 seconds when its playing the radio. I find I can only listen to radio around town anyway and most of the time I have the screen set to temp and oil pressure. AS far as I know its only been updated once at Twin Falls HD......goldie
