Thanx for the kind words and support.

DynoJet sent the free extra license code today, so when this is all said and done I will be ready.

[SmokeyJoe]

So the bike appears to be running fine, but since I am constantly checking the codes this evening I found P1001 and 1003 yet again.  First time they changed the system relay and then the kill switch when they saw these codes.  So I will call HD tomorrow and see what they have to say about it.  Meanwhile I hope I get an answer about the prospect of a buy back this week.

Memorial Day - got the bike back (German's worked today)  - So basically it boiled down to the technician could not reintroduce the symptoms and cleared the codes.  Tech took it for long test ride and I did as well last night -no codes
Weather is crappy for the next few days so probably will not get a chance to ride agian to this weekend.

I cringe every time I see that you've posted in this thread thinking the worst. I hope they can get it figured out for you.

I'm right there with you, every time I see a post for this I say... Oh no, now what's this poor guy going through.

Good luck to you!!

Road all last night (dang I am beat this morning) 

Maybe it is finally all good now as I had no error codes.

I spoke with the dealer yesterday and he said since the codes were in historic, it meant that the problem only lasted for a sort stint and then everything was normal as the check engine light was not on.  He also said they generally cannot get HD to reimburs them for historic codes - is this BS?

Historic codes are saved by the ECM for a specific number of engine start/stop cycles for diagnostic purposes and if the fault doesn't recur they are automatically cleared by the ECM.  I'm not sure what the current number of cycles is, but it used to be 50.  So those codes may have been in there for awhile and not actually reflect anything that has happened since you got the bike back.  And the dealer is probably correct that Harley won't usually pay them to try to figure out noncurrent historic codes, since there is no current fault to find.  It would be like using a two year old angiogram to diagnose your heart's current status, even though you had a bypass one year ago.

Once you know you have all codes cleared, current and historic, if you then find codes of either type you should definitely contact the dealer and H-D.  Even if the codes are historic, indicating an intermittent fault that resolved itself, the odds are those faults aren't going to fix themselves permanently.  With the history of this bike Harley should have no problem authorizing the dealer to try to find the intermittent faults causing those codes.  Or they could just buy the bike back and let you move on to something else.

Thanks for serving..has AAFES gotten back with you yet? I know that post Commanders can ban retailers, especially overseas..maybe Harley Military sales will pay attention to that?

My personal issue is if I cant trust it, It's gone...

[SmokeyJoe]

No word from AAFES yet, just sent him a follow up  email.

By the way I retired from the military 7 years ago, seems like yesterday.  Maybe that is cause I am still working with the military.

So far the bike is running goos with no codes.  Still need to take it out on a long ride, maybe this weekend if the weather and family commitments work out.  Oh yeah and that dam grass still needs cutting with all this rain...  I think, no I am sure the bike ride will WIN when head to head with garden work.

[SmokeyJoe]

So today I road over 400 miles with no issues at all, none, nil, nix....

I certainly hope this is over, I have no idea what I will do with all the extra time I will get back.

Lol, see my post on what did you do with your CVO today....

CVO trumps lawnmower every time.

[SmokeyJoe]

So far all is well.

Planning my first big trip with the bike.  I will be riding in the Swiss Alps in a couple of weeks for a few days.  I am super pumped as this was a bucket list item for me.
