Default Help!

Brand new off the floor heritage 107 2020 bought in 2020. Now at 11k. Only rode it 1.5 years rest of the months it was down because crash bar went into frame so it has gotten a new frame. Got it back from Harley-Davidson about a month ago. I had 10k serv done like a week after receiving my MC. Since I have issues with it not wanting to start and now my check engine light came on another thing since I bought the MC the front running light keep getting burned out I have to replace about every month.
Can someone please tell me my MC shouldn’t act like this especially when it’s still stock and only the same Harley-Davidson place has done all the serv.

Seems like it has a couple of issues.
Have you taken it to the dealer?

Have they done diagnostics on her?
Apparently the frame wasn't the only thing damaged by the crash bar. It might have hidden electrical gremlins.

If they replaced the frame then they had it all a part. Seems that got that right. But ran into some issue with putting it back together.
