Good for you! I'm glad it works well. Maybe HD did do a line change.  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]
Others will have to pursue a remedy with thier service department.

To clarify, I agree 100%, it's a safety problem that needs to be addressed immediately.  All I was trying to convey to the people that haven't gotten their bikes yet, they may not have a problem.  It's like the paint issues, some have them really bad, some have them some and some don't really have them at all.  The wife's old evo stalls bad when it's cold.  We just learned to take 4-5 minutes to allow it to warm before riding it.  BUT an FI motor should NOT have to do that.  You should be able to hit the starter and grab first gear almost simultaneously.  Not that it helps the longevity of the motor, but you should be able to do that if the husband comes home early ;D

The dealer told me yesterday that the factory has a down load to address the cold running problem but for now they want the ECM shipped to the factory for a reflash, wonder why they aren't releasing it to the dealers.

That sounds strange.

They already have the ability with Digital Technician to restrict downloads by VIN, just like the auto industry has done it for the past 15-20 years, so why not just put it out on the regular system?

Perhaps they don't trust the dealers as much as we don't..... :o :-?
