Bike is a 2021 Road Glide Special mileage at 1200 and for some weird reason, bike is getting EMC and ABS DTC codes and it has happened twice at the same gas station Chevron gas station after taking on fuel. Bike typically will refuse to start and no matter if I shut and ignition switch to on or off. On checking DTC, these are the codes that bike shows:
First incident May 29, 2021 ECM - P1100h, P1511h, P1600h, P2100h, P2105h and ABS - C1100h (First incident shows "h" at each of the codes)
Second incident August 6, 2021 ECM - P1100c, P1511c, P1600c, P2100c, P2105c and ABS - C110c (Second incident shows "c" at each of the codes)
Dealer says unless they actually see it at the show, they can’t do much and to start the bike and get home, I need to clear the codes and all I can do is take a photo as proof. Anyone here experienced these intermittent codes? If you did what was the fix, I am thinking perhaps wiring issue or component that is being impacted when the bike heats to operating temperature, or could it be the fuel at the Chevron gas station or some sort if RF energy “zapping” the bike EMC…not sure but just trying to make some sense on the new ’21 M8.
By the way, bike is bone stock.

Reason: additional comments
Update: I checked my bank records and since I got the bike, I have refueled at this same gas station nine (9) times and of those, I have experienced these two weird incidents so I don't think that has any correlation.
I think this new 2021 ECM/BCM/RDRS and other electronics on my bike coupled with new software and firmware are causing these computer anomalies during the boot up process and will catch this error on at random times...maybe I need to check and and see if I can have the dealer service reload the firmware.

This is one of those get the factory folks involved simply due to the fact the bike is basically new and the error codes are plentiful and make no sense. Hopefully the first time you went back to the dealer and showed them what was happening.
This is prolly a bad electrical connection somewhere causing and intermittent loss of voltage/running. Connection resolved itself until the next time the bike gets rattled and breaks the connection.
Cold to hot temp sensor reading anomalies can cause intermittant running issues.

Yea could be one of those electrical sensor or connector that is causing the wire to loose connection as it seems related to cold and hot changes...hopefully next time it happens, I can still start the bike and retain/save the codes to show and make it to the dealer.

I have a 2021 Road King I am having a similar issue. Mine cuts out and causes the traction control light to come. Yes the bike has this RDRS on it and it started at 750miles now just shy of 1800miles. I bought the bike new at the end of December. It throws up the code c1034h and a p1100h code and also pn408001588. When it cuts out it is like you just rolled off the throttle and applied the brakes.

and what has your service tech said, or have you not had them check it out yet?
They told me that unless they were current they couldn't do anything about it. The bike only acts up after riding about 200miles solid. I'm very seriously thinking about the federal lemon law. 2 different dealerships have looked at it with no luck on telling me why or fixing it

sounds like it happens fairly frequently, maybe reproducible? tell them you want them to keep it for a week or two and take it out every day for a ride...would it likely happen in that timeframe based on the frequency of occurrence for you?
