Yes  I seen that and had checked the codes
There were none
Thanks for the help
I straightened it out between that and the wind buffeting plus
my wife was going to ride it at times and she gave up on it
I traded it in on a street glide which i wanted because I have a softail also
I wish to thank all the nice people on this sight for helping me out in the last few months
Again thank you all
Mike

Sorry to see you leave Mike.  Maybe we'll see you in the Street Glide forum.

Mine clock is also resetting - also have seen where range reports 167 miles to empty when filled, ride until it gets to 42 miles to empty, rode another 35 miles without it leaving empty. Looks like I should be getting 200 plus miles to a tank but who knows. Decided to watch the old gauge rather than trust this. Must be time to go to the dealer

In the past few weeks of riding around town, about once out of every three times I start the bike, my clock resets to 1200 and the low fuel light comes on (no matter how much fuel I  have in the tank). Doesn't happen every time. The fuel light goes out when I put the bike in gear and move at all. I have to reset the clock manually. Had the BCM replaced when I bought the bike in February. No codes in any modules when I do Speedometer Diagnostics.

what a  %$#@^&  pain, had the  BCM replaced back 5 months, everything has been perfect, we recently changed to daylight saving time here in australia, so changed the clock time, since that day about every third time i start the bike , lo fuel light ..... with a full tank, kmh changes to mph, and clock goes to 1200.
just called service manager at harley city, he has e-mailed  moco for a fix.
as long as it doesnt effect the rest of the bike i am not going to stress over it,
getting ready for the australian national rally in margaret river  WA  3,500km each way.....

To borrow one of your phrases - Good on ya.

My bike went 4000 miles to from Alexandria, Virginia to Sturgis, South Dakota and back with no electrical problems. Then this annoying clock/fuel light stuff every so often. The local Harley dealer is helpless because there are no Diagnostic codes. So will have to wait until it breaks permanently to get it fixed.

I even had it on a battery tender thinking that power dropped causing it to go out
It seemed like it my be a drop in line voltage for that split second to knock  it out

Ditto thinking it has to be battery related. Electrical transients when starting are most severe of all normal bike events. But Harley should have designed in sufficient battery capacity, filter capacitors, etc., to avoid dropping the voltage to a critical value (thus re-setting the clock) when starting. Since I can't reproduce the problem at will, I have decided not to address it at all. Remains very annoying.

My clock reset again this morning. The screen was on with the speaker plug connected. The clock was fine until I started the bike. Then the fuel range went momentary to zero and when I looked closer the clock had reset itself. I'll tell the dealer in the morning, but I doubt if they'll be able to do anything.

Mine did the same
If I hit the trip switch  it would be ok
soon as I started it it would drop out clock
Thats why I felt it was a drain on battery to drop out  clockand other  memory as miles  left to empty

Not sure if it's connected but I was riding home this evening and I noticed the alarm led faintly on. It was very dim. I haven't ridden at night for sometime, so I've no idea when it started to do this. It's probably not visible during the day as it's so dim. Is this a symptom of the faulty BCM?

It happen to me twice just recently. It has been fine fro the first 2 years and 18k miles and now it has the same symptom.. Has anyone found a fix or what needs to be replaced Mine is a 2010 and the warranty will be up soon.

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