Almost stranded today/tons of codes
Good morning!
2025 Street Bob with 999 miles on it.
I was out riding for an hour this morning. Bike started up just fine and it was a nice, beautiful ride until I stopped for gas.
Filled it up then went to start it: it cranked but the engine didn’t start. Turned bike off and tried to start it again: same thing but this time the battery light on the speedo came on and stayed on. (Note: bike is akways in a NOCO Genius 1 when I’m not riding it.) Waited a few then tried it again and sane thing. I moved bike from the pump off to the side and tried it again a few times and behold, it started. Got on the bike and rode maybe 500 feet before the engine light came in. I was close to my dealer so I ride there and parked. (Bike seemed to run just fine.)
I pulled the codes and there was a lot:
Codes
ECM:
P11000
P151100
P210000
PN003120-01
BCM:
B228700
SPDO:
P063000
PN 70901218
ABS:
U010000
U014000
Uo14200
U014100
C110000
C110468
PN40800221
Dealer opens at 10. I don’t have a phone charger with me so I don’t have power to go through and check all those. So while I’m waiting for the dealer to open, I was hoping someone could take a look at these and let me know what they think.
Thanks in advance,
Buzz
P.S.: Checked oil last time I rode and it was just fine. Also, bike was already scheduled for its 1000m maintenance on 5/2, so I’m ok leaving it at the dealer for a week.

Dealer took me in right away. Theres so much going on with the bike (all the stuff that happened today, the 1000M scheduled for next week, the rear brake recall, and the warranty claim I decided to file w/the upper rocker covers, which were stained with oil from when the bike was overfilled from the factory and leaked everywhere) that they said they will take care of everything in one service. So, Im not planning on seeing my bike for a while.
I DID tell them I needed it back by 5/17, the date of this years DGR. So as long as I get it back by then, Ill be happy.

When multiple systems that may or may not be related, go down, then it's usually something in common with all those systems. So, with that in mind, verify your battery is 12.6V static, 12.0V when cranking, 14.5V when recharging.
"Middle America." So, does this mean your bike has been relying on a tender for the last 4-5 months? If so, then yeah, it's ur battery.
If ur battery load tests ok, then it's a ground, somewhere.

This is very troubling for me, an analog guy forced to live in a digital world. Whether car, truck, motorcycle or John Deere equipment, it is designed to be unreliable and unfixable on the road. On the first level, the tech is designed as a cash cow for the manufacturer. Secondly, you do not matter when it goes **** up. They make money while you sit aside the road and pay and wait to get moving.
My buddies new ultra jumped into limp mode in Montana. 5 mph max. Miles and miles from anything. Calls to dealers when they finally opened offered no help. Finally, an independent knew how to reset it. It would still go into limp mode occasionally while riding it. Been to dealership at least twice. Supposed to be fixed now.
As a riding community we have lost reliability. We had trust in our steeds, but many lost the trust. It is worse for Chevy trucks, jeeps, John Deere’s and so many other newer vehicles. They can’t stop doing it, but they are killing their own golden goose.
So, when you posted this, I found this a very troubling commentary on our state of manufacturing and rush to out tech to other company. I’m an older rider, so I want reliable, efficient, comfortable and safe vehicles. They are not being made any longer. Do any of you have doubts or have postponed buying a new bike because you do not want to take the risk, deal with a system of customer service and repair that is broken, from an industry that doesn’t care what cost or inconvenience their failure is to you. They have your money and they don’t care if you come back.
Okay, it more than troubles me, it pisses me off.

Geez... Got cynicism! It's not a vast conspiracy, it's progress. It is, whether you agree or not. Electronics can control process much much better than humans. Proven over and over... But only when all parts operate properly. And all parts can malfunction... It's been proven over and over.
My whole profession ... The process hasn't changed for over 100 years, the only thing that has is automation. And a control system can operate in normal conditions much better than I can. The only reason I still have a job is I can control the process much better in abnormal conditions. When stuff doesn't work properly. It's the world we live in. It's not going back.
But it is a problem when controls engineers try to engineer out human error... They can't. Those tactics can get too heavy handed... But it's not a conspiracy to strand you on the side of the road... It's an engineering thinking he has a better solution to a problem than you... And that is not always true.
