The dealer I purchased it from fixed it with warranty funds and no questions asked. Your problem may be in the hand control... they are just a circuit board with a switch connected to the board. Plenty of potential for moisture problems.

Hurrah for Timpanogos Harley Davidson.
Did a diagnostic test. BCM codes 2121 and 2177 low Voltage to Starter from BCM
And open starter circuit. WTF bike is not even 2 years old

That's the same code mine had but it was bad wiring... so it could be many things but not necessarily the battery or the BCM... that's why I noted that a very vulnerable feature in HD's has been water getting into to the hand controls... in the past I replaced the board and filled the control with electric grease... still working without incident on my RK but the grease melts in high heat.
