I have the off-road setting too, when i enable it - the bike DOES NOT start and even goes into limp mode lol.

I have the latest update and was unsure of the BCM but went through with the update anyway. Bike seems fine.

I just got back from the dealer. Turns out I had a quite a few engine codes showing up in the diagnostic. The tech cleared the codes and updated all the firmware for the modules. It turns out that when you make a custom ride mode and setup anything as "off-road" the bike will fault on the Sportster S because those settings are for the Pan-Am. So if you select the sport settings in the custom ride mode the bike no longer faults.

Prior to the last update that was the only way to fully disable ABS and TC, only way I knew to fully disable stoppie and wheelie control. It's a shame they had to take it away.

Does anyone else always get the software update alert on the HD app for the phones when you connect to the bike? I have the latest software installed in my “infotainment”

Anyone have issues getting the update to be recognized? My software version is 2021 and I am attempting to install the 2022 update. I’ve tried fat32, ntfs, exFAT. All with the update file at the root and the system just won’t recognize anything. The port is providing power as it charges my phone.

after you downloaded it, did you make sure to “extract” it before copying to your usbc drive ?

and once plugged in the drive into the bikes port, you went through the menu on the bike to start the update? I only ask that because a friend didn’t realize you had to initiate the transfer on his Panam, he thought it would load into the bike on its own once plugged in

yep! Tried it with multiple drives as well. Went to the settings menu and update software and it just sits telling me to insert a thumb drive, refresh does nothing.
