I know the recall is only for the CVO Street Glide. That doesn't mean that when Harley updates a CVO Road Glides ECM that it doesn't get the same flash as the CVO Street Glide.
I just brought home a new CVO ST last Friday. The dealership had already applied the ECM update from the service bulletin M1632 while the bike was still sitting on their showroom floor. Monday was beautiful and I decided to go for a ride...oops, crank, no start. Called the dealership and called everyone there everything but a child of God. $52,000 out-the-door for a brick blocking my driveway. I was very unhappy.
Well, after several minutes on hold and conversations with several people at the dealership, I went back out and the bike started right up. Of course, it went right back to the dealership where it has sat for the past few days... but nothing was done. They just ensured that the ECM was actually updated and that the battery cables were securely fastened. They told me to take a video of it if I ever experienced the issue again. You gotta love modern technology.

I have had the no start a few times in 7000 miles. It is frustrating. If the battery is fully charged and I get the no start, I just shut it off, walk out of range of the fob for 3~4 minutes, come back turn it on, let everything boot up and then hit start. It's worked every time. That said it is embarrassing when you are with other people.

Very Strange but I have now lost the ability to see what software version is on my bike. It has worked fine, and never had an issue looking at it, but yesterday software was grayed out and wouldn't let me select it I wonder if this is another bug or a over the air update?
