2014 CVO Ultra problems
« on: August 30, 2013, 07:05:58 PM »

Just left my dealer and a guy brought back his new cvo ultra  after 250 miles and it stayed in parade mode and the fans won't turn on First day for him.   Billy

Start keeping notes folks. Lest wise the techs start calling these anomalies and isolated incidents. I hope the HDPHD techs get spun up on all this real fast.

My new 2014 'Steaming Eagle' is back in the shop after 318 miles.  The Twin Cooling is not working as it should and the bike is overheating.  Furthermore, the Infotainment system is an epic fail IMHO.  Lipstick on a Pig.  Once I compile all of the details, I will post the pros and cons of the new bike and it's functionality.

I am so sorry to read of your trials and difficulties.

Although I know nothing of the infotainment system other than what is on line, I had a suspicion that it may be troublesome. When one unit interfaces with all sorts of accessories, and does so many things, it can often be more of a curse than a blessing. Sometimes I think the race to make these bikes technologically superior often leads to more problems. And while success is borne of these problems, we, the consumer are often left frustrated and displeased.

The cooling issues remind me of the early efforts of the 70s with electric thermostatically controlled radiator fans in cars. The fans would not kick on as designed, and engines would overheat. Then fans were coming on with the cars parked often killing batteries.

Lipstick on a pig,....more accurate than make up on a HOG I guess.

Please keep us posted.

Bike is charging fine, just wanted to top off the new battery after changing the lights around to make everything led. Not sur why Harley did not put led turn signals on this bike. I put custom dynamics LEDs . Total plug and play.

I was very impressed on a couple hundred mile ride yesterday. 91 degrees and sun, the bike was very comfortable to ride, heat from rads is funneled out and around your legs and feet and caused no discomfort at all. I had the cat converter removed before I took delivery.
 I had to stop to make a phone call and left the bike idle, the fans kicked on and seemed to be doing a great job of cooling.
So far it's all good!
