About a week or so ago I went out to the garage, removed the tender plug from my 06 road king, hopped on and took off. A mile or so down the road I look down and the engine light and battery light were on. Pulled over, shut her down and checked the codes. It flashed P0562, that's it. Started right back up and continued on thinking well I have insurance with a tow so screw it. A couple more miles the engine and battery lights turned off. Got to my destination about 20 miles away shut it off and walked away. The next time I started her the lights came in again about a mile down the road but shut off shortly after during the same trip. They haven't come back on since.
Can a battery tender fail causing a low battery hence low voltage? And by riding it charged it back up? Has anyone experienced a error code that showed up once and went away without any further issues?
Not sure where to start. I am ok with tools and doing minor to moderate repairs but I'm no electrician.
My 2008 Harley nightster 1200 XL is having the same problems right now. But it goes away and then it comes back and it goes away and then it just keeps coming back I've followed the wires make sure they're tight. I changed out the negative wire because I thought the old one may have been having problems. Clear the code and it just came on again this afternoon I'm puzzled
