Sounds like the switch might be the problem to me. You could try a contact cleaner or just replace the switch. This is the best contact cleaner I have ever found. It really works well. Problem is that you would need to get to the back side of the switch to get the spray in it, if it's an open frame type switch. Or just replace the switch while you're in there.

Either way I hope that's all it is...

Not the switch

 Went to the dealer, showed the tech how the switch will allow the sound to come out of the speakers.  Tech says "let's put a switch in it and see if it works" this sounds reasonable to me  ;D

 Tech says " I put the switch in but I need you to tell me if this corrects the problem" of course I say "i'll let you know". I rode 3 miles down the road and the radio sound shuts off, I flip the speaker switch and the sound comes back. Just like it was before the new switch  :nixweiss:

 I can't take it anymore, I just laughed  ;)

Marty,

Two radios with the same issue (no audio) and the response you get from toggling the speaker switch sounds like vibration damage to the radio. We would like to talk to you about it to help you get it resolved. The possibilities are many and varied and would be too long to type out.
Give us a call when you get a chance.

 You are spot on, the combo HD DUDE and IRON CROSS are the best by far  :2vrolijk_21:

 My radio has never played better, I recommend anyone with a radio problem connect these professionals .

 You will not be sorry  :drink:

 Respect

Had this happened to me on the first day of a two week road trip. Sound just quit. Controls worked fine and CD's played, but no sound in speakers. It turned out to be the fuse in the Hawg wired amp. Not blown, but one or the legs was broken due to the vibration on the amp. Replaced the fuse and now have sound.

At least yours was a quick fix and the radio did not have to come out

Reading this string is like deja vu. Having same issues with my CUSE4 that has only 1200 miles. Iron Cross gave me some good tips for dealer to check next week when the bike goes in for this problem. I assume if the dealer finds the problem and it turns out to be the radio, they'll replace it under warranty with a new one. But here's the rub with that solution, because I doubt Harley has told H-K to strengthen the offending circuit board, if that's the problem. So they give me a new radio and in short order I have the same issue again? I know I am predicting the future, but from reading postings on this site I am concerned that's likely to happen to me too. Then what? Guess I better check IC's website for repair and modification. Thanks for listening. :o
