Do you know if it requires the drive to be formatted FAT32?

im not sure on that one. I do know I never specifically formatted mine any way when I installed the updated software.

I just watched the hd how to video and it does mention that the format is FAT32

the guy says “most thumb drives comes formatted in fat32 but to verify go to properties…”

You should only find Fat32 on USB drives 4gb and smaller. You could always make a 4 gb partition on a bigger drive. So exFat would do up to 32 gb then on to NTFS.

For a Mac I have no idea. I can tell you how to do it in Windows and Linux. I am assuming you are trying to unzip the "SPORTSTER S INSTRUMENT MODULE LM4 512_5135562_20221031"

I’m just trying to open the download but only have access to a Mac at the moment. Yes, that’s the file.

all of the above happened to mine. I said F it and pulled the Main fuse for a half hour and most of the codes went away next time I powered the bike on. The ride modes came back and the check engine light went away after riding around for a little while.

Harley **** the bed when it came to software on this bike 😂
