Thanks - you have the Boom Box GTS system which is standard for your bike.

Based on what you are telling me, I again agree that the issue is the reception from your phone. In other words, your phone is not getting a signal so it is not transmitting to your bike. I sometimes have that same problem when my bike is in the garage.

M y suggestion - take the bike to an area where you have a strong signal and see how that works.

Thanks - you might want to refresh your system. Have you downloaded the latest software from the Harley site? Download and reinstall - make sure you download it properly.

Once downloaded, connect the flash drive to your USB port and let it run. It takes a little time to do this - in most cases, it clears up a few things.

Default Boom system

So I did do the update and it is still cutting out the volume. So how do I get a stronger signal to the system or I've also heard that it could be the amp, is that possible?

Sorry - don't think I can help further.

If you can disconnect the amp easily, please try that.

Now that we have more info about having aftermarket audio AFTER the headunit there are a few things to check.It is hard to tell by the picture.


On the input of the amp are there RCA cables?

If so :
Is there a line out converter between the headunit outputs and amp?

If there is no RCAs remove the SIGNAL INPUT plugs and measure the voltage while playing a 1k test tone at 3 bars down from full volume.

Report back with findings

I had the same problem with my 19sg...I had a Arc moto720 too so we have common equipment. Any chance of the bike having ground zero speakers? I had them and there was a problem where they were sending the amp into fault mode. It would cut out for 30 seconds or or a minute and then come back on. It was an early problem with GZ yellow jackets
