Title: Bike Died
Post by: 06ULTRASE on May 03, 2012, 09:18:04 PM: Need some help. 3 times now the bike has died, motor stopped and all electrical dead. Up until today in about 15 second all electrical came back and the motor started normal. Today it did it again but this time it didn't come back. Not even the security key is on. I'm thinking it the extreme angle cut off switch. Any thoughts out there?

First thing was battery cables, with everything dead I have 13 volts to the main 40 amp fuse. Thought about the 2 switches but with the security dead also I wasn't thinking that would be it.

Post by: AXIL on May 13, 2012, 12:08:32 PM: 06, Check the connector at the ignition switch and see if it is loose. It's not very common but does happen.

The BCM is the Body electrical Control Module, and it's used only on the HDLAN bikes. So it doesn't apply to the Touring model which is the subject of this thread.

Exact same symptoms, bike just died. Came back briefly, died again.

Turned out be a pinched wire in the handlebar controls that was tripping the main. Installer at dealership put on chrome controls upgrade the previous week, problem started a few days later.

Post by: 06ULTRASE on June 16, 2012, 10:59:16 PM: Well things continued to NOT improve. The ABS light started staying on on top of the cutting off. I broke down and took it to the shop. They replaced the ECM and the voltage regulator. Best they can figure the regulator caused over voltage that damaged the ECM. If it fixes it I will be happy. Should get it back Wed. they had to order the regulator, go figure.

Yes, but every state is a little different, and there are time/mileage limits involved.
