Default Error codes

Hello, perhaps someone can help me out. I just put my big bore together on my Dyna 2006. It runs fine except for a short combustion dropout on the first ride.

I have received some error codes:




Some kind of electrical problem, it seems.

I should add that I mixed up the plug wires at first start and it back fired off course.

Maybe this was not good for the plugs and plug wires…

Read somewhere that a wire under the dashboard can be pinched…

I just remember I forgot to put the head light fuse back in. Perhaps this is the reason for the electrical error codes. (Bike has a Badlander equalizer.)

And the combustion drop out, (on the first test ride after the big bore), may have been caused by a fouled plug. (Those cylinders were heavily oiled before I put the heads on them and heat cycled the engine.)

So tomorrow. I put the head light fuse in and replace the plugs.

Combustion error solved. Lose spark cable connection to the ignition coil. Bike stopped throwing codes now.
