I've got low miles on a 2014 SG Special..........and every once in a (ride),  something electronic...............fails to work.

It is not always the same "glitch"...........I can start off and not be able to get to my thumb drive via (media).......or other failures.......like today.  I cranked up in my driveway and headed out.  Finally realized I never got the (message) that normally shows up regarding (Harley covering their azz regarding whatever).   So.......miles down the road,  I stop to  get gas and when I started up again.......Bingo.......the (warning showed up) and all was back to normal.

Obviously a (switch) related problem,  have any of you had this going on.

It will disappear on it's own 15 seconds after startup. Did you by chance start the bike up and then finish gearing up while not looking at the screen by chance?

Well.........maybe I did.  I have the FOBO app which monitores my tire pressure.  Right after starting it up,  I looked up the app via my smart phone to check my current tire pressures.  A while later, down the road a mile or so,  I noted there was nothing on the screen at all.  Quite often,  I "click" to (media) and then my (thumb drive) which has lots of tunes I like.

Until I restarted after getting gas,  I could NOT get anything whatso ever on the FU*** blank screen.

I'm had to restart my while riding down the road before. Hold the mute button down for 3 seconds to turn off the system and then turn it back on. Hell, now I can't remember exactly why I've had to do that. This getting forgetful sh!t if for the birds.

Mine started out with no volume control, that led to not being able to have use of any infotainment controls to blank screan, dead radio.
All intermitant and always correted with the shut down and restart.
 Went to the dealership and they checked the radio softwear and told me there have been about 10 updates, some were for the problems we had.
It took about 10 minutes for them to install the latest softwear.
Close to 500 miles later and no more issues.

Another sign of p-poor quality, ship the product long before it's ready and then make a ton of updates, one at a time, that may fix one issue but create another.  So many of the reported issues with the Harley infotainment system, from day one, were things that ANY actual testing would have exposed before they sold the first unit.

 even my iphone needs updated now and then....

even my iphone needs updated now and then.... 

Most of my stuff that requires occasional updates are subject to security updates, not general updates to fix common bugs that were known since the product was released.  To me that's a big difference.

Are you suggesting that one unit on a beat-up old workbench loosely wired to a couple of 6x9s all setting next to the shop bong does not constitute appropriate testing?

I'm not happy with these kinds of problems either,  but having been involved in software development and support for much of my career with the Iddy Biddy Machine Co.,  I can tell ya for a fact,  that no software gets out the door (error free) regardless of how much/how long testing is done.  And yes indeed,  a modification/fix to eliminate one problem can also sometimes create another problem that did not exist before.
