Default FuelPak+Dead Battery=Reprogram?
I left my ignition on and ran down my battery. Do I need to do anything with my fuel pak? Thanks!

No, it should hold its program. i have changed out batteries on bikes with both PC lll and Fuel Paks and there was no problem.

NO!!!...remove your seat(if its under the seat) and hit it with the largest hammer you have..preferably above 2 lbs...that will reset it...or...ride the bike and see for YOURSELF if it needs re-set....BTW...where do you ship your bike to have your turn signal fluid changed?...

serious note, how do you change your signal fluid? did you go to synthetic? lol..

It should always retain your program since everytime HD touches your bike they like to disconnect the battery..

Do you have a battery tender? you might be able to bring it back to life..my buddy has an 05 and battery has drained twice and it has been brought to life.

Mine? I kept mine on tender all the time, and didnt even last 2 years, lol...go figure.

Thanks guys (i think)! Can't ride right now due to an injury and its hard to tell if its running lean when im revving it in the garage!

I put a 6amp charger on it for a couple hours then overnight on a battery tender and it shows a full charge.


Don't I need a left handed monkey wrench to chamge my turn signal fluid?
