This question was bound to come up: I have installed a Fullsac X-Pipe and loaded a new map via TTS Mastertune. When I bring the bike in to have the recall addressed what should I do? I guess my choices are:

1) Don't do anything or
2) Load the factory map back into it before the visit to the dealer

The problem with number 2 is having the bike not run right while the factory map is installed. The dealer I am going to take it to is about 45 minutes away plus I am sure they will test ride it after the work is complete.

#1.  The dealer should not care.  This is a safety recall.

It's a brake switch. Nothing to do w/ a map. 1/2 hour repair and brake bleed and you're out the door.

Interesting timing, neighbors CVO 11 RGU brake light
started staying on during Biketoberfest, found out it
only happens when you press on the rear brake.

Seems he has caught the brake switch blues.

Dealer said he'd be in line behind the floor bikes
first, then customers,   Yeah sales, but really
he has the problem, not potentially has the problem

I was riding with a couple of friends who had rented 2012 Street Glides and we were called by the dealer to bring the bikes back. Apparently there is a recall that affects a lot of touring bikes with the catalytic converter and the generated heat breaking down the resin the switch uses. It looks like it may affect my 11 CVO SG although I have Fullsac on mine now

2009-2012 affected....you would think if it's been there since 09 it would have melted by now...who knows..maybe if the bike still had stock exhaust and stock tune

[sadunbar]

I forgot to check.....but just called my wife and asked her to check.  She said that my brake light does not come on with the rear brake pedal.  I'll check for fluid leaking when I get home this evening.

By the way, the local dealership got their bundle of switches in just a few minutes ago......he just called me.

I thought that's what you were going to find....

Mine went out last weekend at San Simeon on my 2010 (that I bought in late 09).

Had mine and my wife's (09 Street Glide) changed out this afternoon.  I called Chuck (CAP).....he's got an 09 SERG.  His went out last week also.  He got his changed this afternoon, also.

I was asking mainly due to this warning statement in the Service Bulletin:

Any time the ABS module, either master cylinder, or any
line between a master cylinder and the ABS module is
disconnected or replaced, Digital Technician II must be
used during the brake bleeding procedure to verify all air
is removed from the system. Failure to do so could result
in air in the hydraulic brake system, reducing brake efficiency,
which could result in death or serious injury

I guess it takes a while to melt.....Now to find time to get it done....Hate going to the dealer for service

Knowing dealers around here, they will want me to leave the bike for 2 days.....

I don't think they're going to have the room for all the bikes that will be bomb barding them over the next two to three weeks.

Know what you mean about hate to go to the dealrship for service.....fortunately, it's just a 20-30 min. job and you're on your way.  I took mine in, got it done, rode it home and then took Terrie's in.  Chuck's was being done at the same time as Terrie's, so they're jumping on them.

Heading to Jim's in the morning for a new clutch pack in Terrie's bike and to have the HD Touring Pullbacks put back on her bike.  The Klocwerks Ergo bars caused her wrist pain.  Me to, just the couple of times I took it to the gas station.....thought it was just me.  Was talking to Jon (Jonga) about it on the phone yesterday and he said that it hurt his wrist the time that he rode it.   So much for being "ergonomic".

Mine was replaced about a month ago at the 45K service.  Dropping it off tomorrow for the "3rd" heated grip controller replacement.  I'll have them check to see if it's the new switch.

09 had no cat
but has same part probably why its included
just to make sure..

[kraut]

all 09 HDIs had the cat.

[muddypaws]

It took my 2009 45,000 miles with the cat in to melt the switch.
