Your tech friend is correct regards the code
P0332 shows as a rear knock sensor circuit code. The "h" does stand for a historic code.
I've seen where the connector under the tank has not been connected correctly. There is a small locking tab that wasn't pushed in at the factory.
Although there are a couple of other checks to carry out prior, one of the tests in fault finding is to clear the code as you've done and see if it re-appears. The bike should be fine to still ride.
The knock sensor unit itself is a pretty tough piece of kit and unlikely to be the issue but definitely get the shop to sort it out with it being a brand new bike.

They must round up. I think I'll try a different helmet first before buying any more windshields.
Thanks for the information, much appreciated. I reset the code and put a few miles on her last night. So far nothing has come up. I'm going on a couple hundred mile poker run tomorrow so we'll see what happens there.

It sounds like your dealer should remedy you P0332 code issue. It could be the result of low octane gas, bad gas, wrong spark plugs (ask me how I know), bad connections (as mentioned before) or other things. Demand that the dealer suck up the cost.

I reset the code then headed out on a short 100 mile road trip. Got about 30 miles in and it popped back up. Bike runs fine, but I am certainly going to demand they remedy the issue at the thousand mile service.
Side note-- this bike rides like a dream. The suspension is so good compared to my older bikes. Very comfortable two up at high way speeds. Set the cruise, relax and eat up the miles. I'm sure the large sidewall tires help a lot, too. It doesn't have that "cool" big wheel, low profile hot rod look but I wouldn't trade the plush ride for anything.

I am going to have to disagree with some here. a knock sensor triggering is not a good thing sir. Now I don't build Harley engines but I have built multiple race car engines. Knock sensor going of means your motor has detonation when its not suppose to. This kills motors. Now a slight knock every now and then doesn't scare me to the point of ohh **** my motor is going to blow, but continuous use can cause problems down the road. Now my belief, this is was caused by the dealership with putting the street cannons on. It clearly states a tune is required for them when installed. I am willing to bet flashing the ECU will make this go away. I am not trying to offend but just explaining incase you weren't aware of what it is. Look at it as if you were running and then all of a sudden ran into a wall. it jolts you and depending on how fast you were running determines how much damage you will cause to your self. the knock sensor picks up that thud of you hitting the wall. ECUs do have correction for this stuff when it does pick this up, such as cutting fuel or retarding the timing to prevent the motor from catastrophic failure. All in all, I highly recommend you don't ride the bike like you said and make them come get it. Like I said starting with the ECU flash is where I would start and I sure as **** wouldn't be paying for it. They installed that exhaust before you bought it. They should have made sure it was good to go before it left
