Radio Display Gone
I lost the LCD display on my 08 HK radio. Bike hasn't even gotten wet this year. Display setting should be ok. Red backlight is there but no LCD. I'll call dealer tomorrow but any clues? I read somewhere about disconnecting battery. Might be worth a try but sounds like a long shot.

I hope that's all it needs. I have read some horror stories on the HK radios. I'm worried about when the warranty runs out now. I don't like the looks of after market plus spending more money!

I got lucky enough to get the Raido from Hell. I finally got it replaced under warranty. But, am thinking that an aftermarket unit would be a good idea. Just put the HK in the closet until it's time to trade or sell. Would be cheaper than spending $995 to replace a broken HK down the road.

The red backlight had gone out on mine.
Had to take the bike in and have them look at it.
Road the the bike home the same day and had to wait 2 weeks for a refurb unit then take the bike back in.
Covered under the 2 yr warranty.

It's covered under your warranty--but check your contrast setting before you take it in and put yourself through the embarassment of having a tech tell you that you turned the display off yourself. It's easy to accidentally change one setting while trying to change something else.
