Service Bulletin M-1162
The following was posted under the Sportster forum. Has anyone else heard of this or had it done?
It is a service bulletin that is for the the ignition control module (ICM). HD issued the above service bulleting that adjusts the pulses to the speedometer/odometer and adjusts the curve to aid in better cold starting, hiccups, etc. No parts are needed, just a reflash of the ICM's memory. It only applies to rubber mounts made PRIOR to mid September 2004, so basically a 2004/2005 Sporty. You can check to see if your bike is one of these by taking the seat off and see what number is on the ICM. If it ends with 04 or 05A, you already have the current flash (the A is the clue here if there is no A, you need it).
Apparently it isn't a recall, just a service bulletin so many Sporty owners have had difficulties getting their service departments to do this. Service dept. keep challenging by saying there is no safety recall, but it isn't a safety recall. Or they say it is just for big vwins. I can provide an excerpt from the bulletin but didn't want to take up too much room.

RE: Service Bulletin M-1162
I found this in another forum. I hope it opens. If not I will try something different.

M-1162 applied
Hi,
I didn't even have to mention this SB to my dealer. Just brought my 2004 Sporty 1200 Custom in for a 25,000 mile servicing. I mentioned a problem I was having with the bike sputtering when starting from a stop after a bit of riding. Just got off the phone with them to ask about M-1162 and they said they already new it should be applied and did it.
Problem solved they said.
