2007 SERK
« on: December 04, 2006, 01:46:14 PM »
New member signing in and saying hello. I have had several Harleys and have recently bought a black 2007 SERK, which is just beautiful. However, right off the bat there were several issues. First, on one of my first rides, the LED gas gauge showed me three lights out of seven as I ran out of gas, on a hill no less. Second, while riding for about an hour another time, the neutral light came on and stayed on as did the key light (this became a persistent issue). Third, while riding to work, the entire bike shut down and the "check engine" light came on. Bike wouldn't restart.the

I was towed to the dealer twice (thank you, Roadside Assistance!) all in the span of my first 500 miles. The gas gauge was replaced, as was the neutral switch and the cause of the total shutdown was determined to be a blown fuse that controlled the ECM (also replaced).

The bike now runs beautifully. It is the only HD I have ever had a problem with. I have no idea why this would have happened with a CVO. I hope I am back on track. Glad to be part of this forum in case I run into any other issues!

Welcome and glad to have you aboard.  Great forum, people, and information available here.  Sorry to hear about your problems.  You shouldn't have to go through those problems on a new CVO bike.  Hopefully they have it straightened out now.

Cheers, CVOMOE [smiley=banana.gif] [smiley=banana.gif]

Welcome aboard MTB. Nice choice in the B/I SERK. I'm waiting on the same bike myself. Sorry about all the electrical problems. They are very annoying. Were these things just flukes or has the dealer had these issues before? I'm glad it's straightened out now. Good Luck wih it. Hoist!

I think (and hope) that these things were a series of flukes. I had originally thought that they were all interconnected, but the service manager at the dealer thought that some were and others were not. I think he was right. Anyway, all is good for now.

The bike is really beautiful. It will be worth the wait.

Welcome to the site MTB! The home of the CVO financial and technical advisiory ah-hoc members !  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Sorry to hear about all the issues on a brand new bike, that should never happen. The blown fuse for the ECU is not good. Hopefully they did a through check of the wiring harnesses to make sure there weren't any shorts or rubbing against metal going on.

Welcome MTB, Congrats on your purchase! Its one SWEET ride.

Your not alone on the ECM fuse issue, others here have had it as well. Did they find the cause for the fuse to blow?
