I have the same problem!! I have called Harley twice. unfortunately it hasn't had any effect on getting my Limited back to me minus the problem. It has been in the shop 4 times for a total of 11 days and counting since i purchased it 4 weeks ago. Hopefully they find a fix soon.

Dont know if you saw it on another thread but if you dont use the intercom, guys (myself included) have turned it off and the crackle seems to stop.

Did you turn the intercom off? If you did and it still crackles then I'd take it in.

never turned the intercom on... still crackles or more like pops every now and then when the radio is on..... Figure it will be addressed in time.. since it isn't a big deal to me I will be patient..

It worked for me.
I installed the drive prior to turning the bike on as suggested earlier in this thread and I want to thank him for that,
