Ecm
Glad you're bike is fixed. They picked mine up at the house and took it in to look at it after my oil light came on... They just emailed me to tell me they had to order a new oil pump sms they spoke with the mother ship and took me the stalling problem is an ECM correction that they are aware of... so hopefully ill be good by next week... Thanks for keeping us updated..
Since my bike only started stalling after 2,000 miles (it was perfect the first 2,000 miles) it makes sense to me that something "broke". If the ECM had less then optimal programming then the issue would not appear after 2,000 miles and now go away before they did anything to the ECM. I'm just postulating here but it's an educated guess from someone that really doesn't know a whole lot about fixing a motorcycle lol

Clutch switch
I always suspected it had something to do with the ECM, but since the fix isn't out yet for the ECM and my bike was fixed, I'm not sure what to think about that. And you are welcome for the update. We are all sharing information and that's what this is about.

Hopefully my stalling/dying out and not starting in gear issue will be fixed with clutch switch replacement. This is just a couple of issues I am having. There are more like pinging/detonation when I open the throttle.vibration/ buzzing that I hear around 50. This is my 4th Harley and the only one with issues.

Any more issues with the stalling? I went on quick 1100 mile trip and mine stalled and shut down 6 different times, 2 of those times it was hard to start back up. I felt like I was messing with keeping the RPMs up at every stop because of the RPM drop when I pulled the clutch in while stopping. I am taking it in to the dealer this week for the problem. Is there any info I could pass along to the shop from your ordeals?
