I seem to recall a thread on here or maybe just an article I'd read elsewhere describing similar symptoms. Might have even had something to do with the security system...but ECM does sound suspect if you've covered the basics.

I just rolled over 18K w/o a hitch so far...

a similar situation happened to me, the bike was parked and would'nt start. The fuel pump would whine and get ready and as soon as you hit start nothing happened, wouldnt even turn over, the clock even reset itself. The security light was flashing too, so i took it out of my pocket and reset the battery, started first crank. Drove it home, called the dealer he said "according to your owners manual change the battery in the fob ONCE A YEAR!, then keep the fob away from your cell phone at least 3 inches away because when your phone roams and tries to look for a network it will cause big time interference. And strangely enuff i was near the ocean and i did have no bars on my cell so yes it was roaming! So i changed the battery went to home depot for the batts it was like $10 and i keep the fob and cell in different pockets on my jacket and to play it safe i covered the battery terminals in dielectric grease. Never had the problem since added over 250miles since. hope this helps

Thanks all, I took my bike to harley this morning and they say it was just my chassis ground being loose. Im keeping my fingers crossed. I didnt think to check it while checking everything else... I didnt know a new bike could rattle a chassis ground that loose already and make it throw that many error codes and have such problems. I will definately change the battery in my fob as well and keep it from my phone.
