By the way.. What is BCM?? I know what ECM is but until today I haven't heard of BCM..

Body Control Module  It's the box that switches things on and off and senses for opens and shorts and the likes.

Took the bike to my local dealer today to check out alarm and resetting clock. The dealer could find no active or historic alarm but what he did find was a crushed / damaged cable under the dashboard assembly. They've ordered a replacement cable. They think the damage was done during the assembly process and suspect that it might be causing the problem.

My 2011 is getting a new speedo next week. The dealer said the cable had been damaged when originally built.Another thing that I noticed was a dodgy fuel range reading. It was saying I had 43 miles left, but when I filled up I noticed that I only had 2 litres left. The low fuel led light did not come on, though I'm told this would only come on when the range is down to 30 mile. Also just before I filled up the bike started misfiring, especially when leaning the bike through bends etc. The dealer things it's the speedo gauge causing the problem.

Asked my dealer if he knew anything about this problem and he said no but would check with Service rep...  10 min later he came back and said the MOCO had new ECM firmware that fixed part of the problem but that there may be another update coming by Jan 2012.  They installed the update for me so we shall see....

On Saturday, i stopped by the Harley dealer in Manassas, Virginia (Whitt's HD), and told the service department about the symptoms I was having. They told me they had another Softtail Convertible in the shop with exactly the same symptoms. They were going to contact the Motor Company this week.
So at least the word is getting out that something is wrong.

Have you guys checked your battery connections.  Mine came loose (ground side) and caused a lot of weird problems.  There is a torque spec in the service manual.  It's tighter than you think.

Yep, mine does it too and it seems to happen more often now that you guys pointed it out....

My speedo also fogs up whenever it goes from the garage to out in the sun. The amount of moisture in there can't be good for the electronics.

My warranty is up in April so I have a little more time to wait out the MoCo response to all the complaints.

now here is something a bit weird, 3 weeks ago i shipped my bike to perth western australia from melbourne, when i went to the harley dealer the bike had a flat battery, i assume the shipping company turned it on and didnt turn it off, long story short i ended up with a new battery fitted, rode out of the dealership to the annual HOG rally in margaret river , about 250 miles, 4 days there then a 3,000 mile ride home over the last week , arriving home yesterday, clock did not falter once after numerous times being turned on and off, from this i assume that even the slightest drop in battery voltage may have some effect, bike goes in for service this week , and will discuss with the sercice manager.

MIne resets every time the bike is shut off now. It acts like it would if the battery was disconnected everytime and this would only show up on something like a clock. I'm going to clean the battery terminals and see what happens. The battery seems to be fully charged but I will check it just to see. I have had my console off and there is no pinched wires that I could see. I have my doubts about the shorted or pinched wire theory anyhow, non seem to be having any issues once they are set and while driving. A short or pinched wire would show up while the bike was running as well as not running and probably moreso.
