Default bUS err code

Hey guys , 3 weeks into owning my CVO Springer , and unfortunately I have an issue . I was thankfully riding to the Harley dealer by me to get the bike inspected , and have an oil change done , when just as I was getting off the parkway I noticed " bUS err " on the dash and none of my lights or signals were working . The bike seemed to still be running ok , even at idle , but nothing electrical worked - head lights or tail lights and also the battery and check engine lights were on - yet the bike was still running . I got to Harley , parked the bike , shut it off and noticed that the alarm system kept chirping on and off . After it stopped , I put the key back in the bike , turned it on and everything worked again .
So now of course , Harley is going to look at it .

Luckily I have 2 yr ESP .

Update : Just spoke to dealer who said that they noticed that even with the bike off the starter was trying to engage , so they disconnected the battery for now and they probably wont get to look at it any further until late Mon or Tuesday . Perfect ......


Anybody have any experience with something like this ?

Did you do anything on the right hand controls? Starter trying to run may be pinched wire also causing the BUS Er on the odometer, turn signal switch wire pinched as well.

No didn't do anything to the right or left side controls , however I was having an issue with the bike not starting unless it was in neutral - which I've heard might be a switch in the left side handle ?
