Did you ever get your bike running?
I'm curious what actual fault causes this "U1064 Loss of TSM/FSFM Serial Data to ECM, P0132Front Oxygen Sensor High" code to display.
Not yet. I've been a bit short on cash and am in the middle of moving, so I haven't had the time I'd like to work on it, but it's on the top of my list now. I replaced the crankshaft position sensor and the symptoms are the same, though it seems like it's running a half-second longer now. Next up is to get the battery re-charged and see if it's the same, then I may try the fuel filter ($93!!!). It was throwing two new codes this time, but that could be the condition of the battery. (I'll post the codes later.)
As an aside: I don't have a charger (yet). Any special hints about using cables? I can get at the + terminal on the battery fine, and then plug the — onto the nut where the cable hits the frame. Better ideas?

Your best bet is to remove your battery and connect it to a tender. Do not jumpstart your bike with a car battery (It's a common mistake).
You seem to have started replacing parts on your bike. I know you had some error codes show up on your dio (which is not neccesarily indicitave of a part failure) but have you tried some simple troubleshooting?
Seriously, replacing the battery in your key fob might solve your problem. It may seem stupid but it is quite common for Custom owners to end up at the dealer paying for diagnostics and/or unnesecary repairs when a $2.00 battery could of solved the problem.
Due to an unusual (and much needed) rainshower this evening, I wasn't able to get juice on the battery, but I did pull the new DTCs. I'm now getting:
P0118 ET Sensor High (what the hell is an ET sensor?)
P0373 CKP Sensor Intermitent
I just replaced the CKP (crankshaft position sensor), so is it possible that either a low-voltage situation caused it, or it needs new data from a new sensor? The serial bus connection seems to have disappeared. (EDIT: This isn't the case, the U1064 error is still present. My notes were a bit of mess.)
I'm hopeful that a CKP DTC means the old sensor was the problem, and maybe just a full charge on the battery will solve it. If the weather cooperates, I'm putting it on a charger first thing in the morning. Wish me luck, or better yet, send advice.

Reason: Corrected DTC note
No solution as yet, though that code is gone, now showing intermitent crankshaft position sensor DTC (just replaced that), O2 sensor (probably from so much cranking) and throttle position sensor low (?? - removed throttle position sensor and lightly whacked it a couple of times). Got a charger and made sure the battery is in good shape. Still fires and runs for just a moment then immediately dies. Every time.
FWIW, the local dealer is worthless. On another forum, I read something about a fuel pressure regulator that might need some sort of retrofitting because of an o-ring blowby. I asked the service desk guy about it, and he said something along the lines of "I just work here part time and don't know much about it, but if you bring it down I'd be happy to (charge you $90 an hour to) hook it up to the computer. I didn't spit out my coffee, but I did tell him I didn't have any desire to bring it to him if he didn't know what he was doing. So there's that.
Since the last update, I've already replaced both the bladder and canister fuel filters. The canister needed to be replaced, but it's still anoying that two little bits of paper and plastic set me back $50 and failed to resolve anything. (On another forum) someone is suggesting a camshaft position sensor - another!? My thought is the fuel pump itself, failing to deliver enough pressure, but I can't find a replacement pump anywhere online. And I can't imagine how much the pump is going to cost if the damned filter set was $92.70 from the dealer.
One final rant: the dealer and my bank screwed up the title, so I am paying for a bike that I neither own nor can ride. There was an unreleased lien on it from the previous owner, which no one noticed until I went to title it myself. No one can give me an answer as to when that will be resolved, or what will happen if they can't. So, I'm getting frustrated.
