Default IAC cycling

Hey, sorry for my bad English!

My Bike is an Iron 883 (2017). IAC is cycling every 10-15 seconds when ignition is Off!
When I leave the Bike over Night, the next Morning the Battery is Empty. I have installed an new IAC, but the Problem still exists.

Does anyone have any Ideas or the same Problem? (There is no System Relais, only the BCM) (No Failure Codes)

Leave the kill switch on the handlebars in the run position, and shut the bike off with the key only. Then see if it does it.

I don't know why you would spend money on a new IAC when the bike is under warranty. That's what dealers are for.

Unfortunately he does not want to cover it under warranty, because I changed my exhaust and relocated the Speedo by myself. I took it to the Dealer, but after an Week he told me that in that Week there where no Problems ...

Dealers are getting where they suck big donkey *****. and they wonder why sales are down. That violates the Moss Magnusson Federal warranty act but taking them to court coast a lot of money and they know that. So they continue to screw their customers and expect them just to hump and take it. I still try to support my dealer but he is old school and I don't believe he would do this nit picking warranty **** to his customers but I could be wrong especially when times get hard.

I don't think Germany recognizes the Magnusson-Moss Act....

The IAC runs straight from the ECM. If the connections aren't bad (check and clean all connectors from the ECM to the IAC), it's going to be a fault somehow. I would try disconnecting the main fuse and resetting the bike just to see if that does the trick. It's possible that it's a wonky ECM sending bad signals when it's supposed to be "off."

Sorry didn't look to see where he was from. They try to pull that crap here though. and it would have nothing to do with the muffler or moving the speedo.
