Default New Street Glide, right speaker not working!

Hi, does anyone have any ideas? My right speaker stopped working on my new SG with only 200 miles. :-( I'm pretty sure it was working initially, but now it's dead. Back to the dealer I guess, or is there something easy that I should check? The left speaker seems fine. Thanks!

This may be a dumb question and I appologize if it is, but did you check the bal on the radio? Also maybe wiring could have come loose? But yeah back to the dealer if it broken.

try resetting your radio to factory defaults:

● Turn the ignition ON with the radio OFF
● Push and hold softkeys 1 and 3 and OK for 2 seconds
● Push the arrow up 2 times
● Push softkey 2
● Turn off ignition for 20+ seconds
● Turn ignition on and verify all defaults have reset

The following are reset to the factory ROM defaults:
● Radio presets.
● volume levels, bass, treble, AVC, fader and VOX.
● Display contrast.
● External amplifier present is reset to no amplifier (if an
external amplifier is present, it will take two LONG ignition
cycles before the radio is set up to enable the external
amplifier).

I have lost output from a speaker once and this cured it for me. YMMV.

Damn, still not working. There is no Fade or Balance in the Audio menu. I also tried resetting by following the sequence above several times, but it didn't seem to reset anything. Could you please confirm those steps? Thanks for your help, I appreciate it!

My bike is in the shop right now so I can't physically verify the procedure, but it was copied and pasted straight out of the electrical manual of my 07 Ultra. It has worked for me a couple of times. Should reset everything back to default, unless there are some other problems possibly with the radio?

I had the same problem on my 09 road glide when I got. The speaker just stopped working. I pulled the fairing apart and found that the speaker wire disconnected.

That is what I would check as well. Wires come loose all the time and since it's pretty easy to take the 7 nuts off and check, that would be the first thing I would check. You can also check other connections at the same time to make sure everything is tight. If that's not the case and the reset didn't do anything, take it back to the shop.

Take it to the dealer and let them screw with it.

Hopefully, that's my problem, that it just disconnected. I'd like to check it myself, but I'm not sure what screws or grommets I need to remove, or even how to remove those grommets. Do you just pull them out with some needle nose pliers? Can the service manual be found on eBay on a cd for cheap or does anyone know of free download anywhere? Thanks, I really appreciate all the responses!
