    Pessimistically optimistic? So how would you describe the fluid level in the glass?

    it was a good job i read the whole thread as i would have guesses it was a BMW not the HD.

    Friends of mine had the exact same fault, new battery just dies, goes well when running. Turned out after they replaced nearly every relay that it was the computer.

    Once that was changed there was never a problem. didn't want to change the CPU as this was the most expensive part.

    Hope you get it sorted.

    Well thank you for that, at last someone with anecdotal evidence of a similar problem. I don't have a clue if that's 'the' problem but I will definitely pass this post on to the dealer for His information . Ultimately, if that proves to be the cause, he can't say he's never heard of such a thing can he.

    To be fair the problem he's having is they replaced the battery and the bike is running Ok, as expected. It won't be until the battery has run out of newness and vigor that the fault will re-occur, so replacing electricky bits to see if the fault goes away by process of elimination is not an option at the moment.

    Cheers again for that, have some blingy.
    Oh bugger

    Well, with any luck it's not fully empty.

    Man just as well ya got a brewery nearby.

    Many people would be less tolerant than you,if it gets fixed hope the company give you a few pesos,and also hope Harley recompense the dealer for said pesos,not really dealers fault when this shite happens,unless they're complete nob ends in workshop.

    Mate had similar problems with his Holden Crewcab ute,he bought it new,needed a new diff at about 110000km,just out of warranty,result to him $2500 lighter bank account,funny thing Holden NZ didn't want a bar of it,they said it's isolated repair,until mate said "I knew you'd say that-have a look at these"and gave them several pages of emails from a holden drivers site from aussie.

    engineer: that glass is of inappropriate size to contain the fluid specified for containment. Here is my 48 page proposal, and powerpoint presentation, about how we can develop, using your money, a world class, water containment device (or "WCD" for short) which will contain precisely the amount of fluid that you have. Only $50,000 to start.

    Don't be silly, this is what an engineer says.
