I basically did the same thing that you did. Cut the signals. And that was though. Fine for a few months and then randomly started hard start and VINERR CODE. I load tested my battery and it was good.
Tested my Regulator and it was bad.
For the the hell of it, I swapped out a new battery and that didnt fix the problem. So I put on a regulator and new battery and that did it. My concern is that I made a bandaid. I am not 100% my ACR are enabled. Are you tuned ?!

First and foremost ! To be safe, go in to your tuner and see if ACR is enabled. This can cause a hard start, pulling
more voltage then need to turn over bike due to do higher compression...
Second, have your battery load tested at your local dealer. Bring it into them. It could take a few hours.
Do this now:
Set multimeter to DC. Higher then 12V.
hook the leads to your battery terminal. Crank over, you will notice a slight drop in voltage. Anything below 9.5 is questionable.
Rev to 2,000 rpm and see if your voltage increases. I hold around 14.4-14.6 which is awesome. With my old regulator I stayed at 14.1.....I dont think it was quite enough.
There is a great write up of how to test your charging system on this forum.. going to have to search around.

I had this problem for a couple years with random high idle when starting and at stops. Then when I got back from a deployment (I forgot to hook up the battery tender when I left) my battery was shot. So I replaced it with a interstate battery and haven't had the problem since. I actually forgot about the issue until last week when I saw another thread on it. So for me a new battery did the trick. I hope you figure it out. It seems that many things can cause it and it's very annoying.

*Fixed* Just FYI, in case others run into this same issue with this model.
So I took the bike to the dealer since my tests on the battery and the voltage regulator came up fine and working correctly. The dealer did a full charging system diag, and what they came up with was a (HD known common issue with the dyna in this year) faulty wire between the battery terminal and the fuse box. They replaced the faulty wire and now the bike runs great, starts up correctly when cold and hot, and does not throw the VINERR code.

The bike is a 2014 Dyna Street Bob FXDB. I don't have a part number on me at the moment. But I can dig up my receipt when I am off work and see if they part number and price is listed.

For Jamesw1301 did the HD shop mention a TSB number, if there is one. Usually when HD sees a problem coming up that affects a model but doesn't warrant a recall, a TSB is issued. Then the techs check for any TSB, well we did at a car dealership.
