HK Radio Display
For all of you whose radio comes on with the bike after you have turned it off. I noticed this morning that although it is on the station I was listening to with but with no sound the presets are the default values and not the stations I have programmed in. I turn it off and back on I have sound and my stations are listed on the presets. Have you noticed similar?

RE: HK Radio Display
Mine did that also when I first got her, my dealers fix was to make sure that I shut the radio off before I shut the igintion switch off and not to start the bike with the radion on.
As crazy as this sounded, I tried it and the problem has not come back again.
I have done the software or firmware upgrade and not tried it another way yet, I am now in the habit of turning the tunes off before I shut her down and all is fine.

RE: HK Radio Display
Hey Bounty, Anyone interested can perform this software download. If a Service Manager told you he was waiting for a CD, tell him to keep waiting. Go to www.harley-davidson.com, then click on Accessories & Apparel, then look in the bottom right hand corner. It will give you tech info for the sound system. click on that then in the top right you will see software updates. Follow the instructions. You will need a CD rewrite in your computer. The latest updates prevent this problem, blank screen displays and stops the clock from adding time. This will remain there, and all HK systems until 2008 will be reprogrammable. ie, if you have a 2006, you can upgrade to 07 spec's for free.

RE: HK Radio Display
I am on my 4th HK radio on the 06 classic so I've gotten pretty familar with them. Most recently when I shut the bike off wit the cd player on, the FM station would come on when I turned it back on. All it took to address this was to pull the maxi fuse for 5 minutes. Problem resolved. I would suggest doing this first as it's the easiest thing to try. This doesn't affect anything other than your preset stations so it's safe to do. (for those who don't know, the maxi fuse is under your left side cover)
If that doesn't work and you burn the CD, the most important part of the process is burning the CD at 8x speed or less. Any faster & it won't work.
Next. If you have burned the cd and you did it at the right speed and the download doesn't work in your radio, run it a couple of more times. I have seen the dealer run it four times on one radio before it worked. Latest updat is 8.11 and is supposed to address problems with the CB. Dealer suggested I not put that one in my radio as mine is finally working like it's supposed to.
