just got my radio back from HK.I had power at the radio but NO sound through the speakers.got it back in tonight,upgraded speakers to Boom Audio while I had the fairing off.now the radio plays for a few seconds and beeps a few times and says radio not calibrated.Do I need to take it to the dealer or can I do this myself?? I've been without my radio for 11 months,really want to hear some riding tunes while cruising.
