Never took them off. Pulled max fuse to kill any power to the bike. But yes I did check everything as I was putting it bak together.

For those of you in the market for a Service Manual, you really need to consider all three.

I'll stop by the dealer on my way home from work on Tuesday and see what they have to say about it. I've never heard of a speed sensor not letting the bike ideal but who knows with the new all computer controlled bikes anymore.
Pulled the ECM out just for ***** a giggles to take a look at the pins, all looked good. But that thing was hotter then hell, that can't be good for electronics.

I would disconnect the amp and see if it goes back to normal, sounds like your pulling voltage. Before you take it to the dealer disconnect that entire set up, just in case they decide to blame it on your Mod..

Update: Well the same thing happened again day before yesterday on the way home from work only this time it set a code for the vehicle speed sensor. I took it to the dealer yesterday to have it looked at. Stop by today to see if they found anything and they tell me it's all done, found a flake of metal on the speed sensor, cleaned it off and took it for a ride. I asked if they changed the trans fluid to make sure they got it all out, he says no changing the fluid isn't covered under warranty, I told them I don't care change it anyway, I'd be more than happy to pay for it. He said no problem they'll get right on it. So I decided to head home and get my lid and catch a ride back to pick up the bike. About 100 yards out of the parking lot they call me and said the found much bigger problems after pulling the trans drain plug, covered in metal. So much for picking up the bike. They'll give me a call after the trans tear down and let me know what they fine.
I had another thread on here about rattling from the trans, guess we figured that one out too.
Funny only 2600 miles on the bike and something lets go in the transmission. NOT GOOD. O well at least it will all be covered under warranty and Ill get that fresh trans oil change I was asking for too. :-)

I read your last post about the noise. Kinda funny how you get flamed for asking a question then find out you have a legit problem. Good luck, hope you get everything resolved!

Submitted for your perusal; 1 Harley rider who goes by the name of SubZero. While motoring down the highway, he experienced what we like to call a moment of strange occurance; one where his bike registered no speed even though he was clearly booking. There is no reason for this, other than he was transported suddenly to a place & dimension where laws of physics have no meaning, a black hole of indifference, where time & reason cease to exist. unfortunately for SubZero, he has entered into a world where all things wrong can be found with a simple read of the numeric code in his speedo, but which can totally flummox him into a world where reality is just a whisper of thought. He has crossed into a world of both shadow & substance; He has just crossed into...The TroubleCode Zone!

My experience with computer codes is that most often they don't identify the actual problem or component but identify a problem area or system. In this case, those with experience identified the VSS from the symptoms before the code set, and even the code said nothing about a transmission turning to metal filings. The codes are just another tool in the trouble shooting sequence. The OP obviously made a better decision than the shop did and uncovered the actual problem.
