Every Issue My 2024 Road Glide Had Came Down To One Simple Fix

How do you explain that when you switched out your bcm with another bike at the dealership that bike had problems also?

I have rode both glides and they are amazing to say the least . After watching your posts , you pretty much nailed everything to a T and kept it at a level many of us could not do . I have the option of a few dealers in my area and know which ones I can trust and which ones I can't . Thanks again for your posts . I learn something every time

[@jimtownsend6139]

Sorry you had all the grief. Glad to see they finally resolved it. I’m just passing 1000 miles on my 24 Road Glide and it’s been flawless so far. These bikes have become full blown computers attached to a motor. Gone are the days when all you had to look for were spark, fuel and compression when you were trying to get a bike to run.

Corporate won’t do shit. My 2024 rg at 119 miles had the head replaced. 273 miles had the infotainment screen replaced. Missed Arizona bike week (spent over $1000) because of the second issue. Now at 293 miles check engine light is on and feels like the clutch is slipping. Called corporate multiple times and have been told every time their only responsibility is to send the parts to the dealership. Refused to let me speak to anybody else to resolve the problem. Guess you need a KZbin channel to get any kind of compensation for the time wasted sitting at the service department and the hassle of dragging the piece of shit back and forth to them. Glad they took care of you. I get to spend my day hanging out with them again

Just being a home mechanic, you're kind of missing. The obvious you swapped the b c m to another bike, and it didn't work correct. Then you had issues with the battery. Which brings to the point? The bcm was bad they put in in the other bike. It didn't work, and that'd b CM fried your battery and therefore. That's why you need to switch out the battery food for thought

Not every faulty battery can be immediately tested as defective with conventional diagnostic tools. Some behave quite inconspicuously even under load and would master any specific test without complaint - but are still defective. It is not for nothing that many car manufacturers now attach so-called battery sensors to the batteries, which, in conjunction with battery management systems, monitor the battery in the on-board electrical system. Often, it is only through a targeted analysis of the recorded data that a faulty battery can be determined. Today's electronics are very sensitive to voltage fluctuations, which is also due to the fact that a lot of data has to be evaluated in real time. These batteries can work without any problems in an analogue vehicle, but often no longer in a digital system. And these are my more than 40 years of experience in the automotive sector, where for over 30 years I have mainly been busy finding and eliminating such errors. It's not as simple as some people think.

Dang man, from the way you explained all the issues my first thought was "battery," but then I remembered it was a brand new bike, so dismissed it thinking there's just no way.

[@cobralife0417]

I have had my 2024 road glide for over a month now. I couldn't do an auto tune with the SE Pro Tuner but could base tune the bike without issue. I put it on a battery tender overnight after riding it a few times and then was able to auto tune. I unhooked the battery this week when I installed my stereo. It threw a few codes causing the check engine light and exclamation mark as well. I cleared the codes which only left the exclamation mark for about 40 miles with no codes. This finally went away but my high beams wouldn't work. I again threw the bike on the battery tender overnight. Rode to work...no high beams...I shut the bike off, turn it back on and the high beams started working and have worked since. Battery voltage is going to be super critical on these new Harleys for sure.

[@SmittyAZ]

That's way crazy. How many A-holes park their bikes and blast their stereos because we've never, ever heard a loud stereo before?

if this was an indian, there would be videos all over youtube talking about how shit the bike is and how bad of a company indian is, how they don't recommend it to anyone that wants to spend that kind of money on a bagger and so on. the amount of leeway they give harley for putting out faulty products is wild. same thing happened with the rollout of the pan america. tons of issues, in the shop more than it was on the road but it wasn't until the next year when the second gen version came out without the issues that anyone really spoke out about the abysmal rollout of the first year bikes.

[@adamnichol4526]

Sometimes you just get a wonky one. Back in 2012 I bought a new Ford Focus Eco boost. Ideal car for the UK and a car I much miss. Would fully recommend it to anyone.... except my specific one was the most gremlin ridden thing I've ever known. A/C was intermittent, split coolant hoses 3 times. Had a technician leave the coolant cap off so all the coolant boiled away. That wasn't the cars fault, but it caused an "overclocking" alert that no one could clear, needed a new engine and ECU for that. Eventually, 2 days from trade in, the cylinder head split and flooded the engine with coolant. Other people had one that never missed a beat....

[@CheeseBiker4Life]

Thank you for updating us. Makes me feel better that I can go ahead and pursue the purchase of a road ride 2024.

[@asoshkin]

I am glad you got it all figured it out. It is frustrating, but atleast you are all good now.

[@corychartier7961]

It makes sense. I work with battery backup for solar and houses. All batteries have a drain point where they will be damaged. Useless once damaged they cam reach appropriate voltage but they drain faster. Basically they loose more amps than volts.

[@phineashenshaw]

As an owner of a 2022 PAS, I will give you a +1. Except they refused to replace my battery. If my bike sits for more that a couple of days without being on a battery tender, I will get random codes from the BCM or the ECM or things like the adaptive ride height or the compression release will not engage or the motor will not start or even traction/ride modes will error out. I had one time where I tried to run it after sitting and tried to take off and it just quit. Managed to get it started. Rode it to the dealer and they did an update. As long as I leave it on the charger, everything works fine. I had one time where I was even sitting in traffic too long, stopped and turned the bike off. Then tried to start it and had similar symptoms. But that has only happened once. So from my experience, YES the battery causes these types of errors. I hear in the 2024 PAS they upgraded the charging system and put a bigger battery in it. I may try a lithium battery. But as long as I ride it regularly it runs good enough not to upgrade it. Plugging in a tender is easy and cheap. I was thinking of buying a 2024 RG. Thanks for your videos!!!

[@waydel1]

I had a bad connection on the ground to starter on 2022 FXLRST. Cussed me all sort of start issues. This happened to me years ago on a bagger but I had forgotten. Harleys for the most part are pretty bulletproof. A bad battery will also cause multiple issues. Always check the obvious ( the battery).

[@stuartstogdill2406]

Many people have had the same exact issues. None of the issues you had were out of the ordinary for these new bikes. Unless the battery was tested as having bad cells... then it is NOT the problem.

[@johnhammered3321]

My personal experience with AGM batteries told me that they are polterguiest waiting to happen! I purchased a 2021 pan america in 2021 in less than 6 months My nightmares started. Using an AGM trickle charger from the beginning I started having starting issues, codes, ghostly experiences. Dealer swapped out the battery by orders of HD. Bike ran fine for about a month then the gremlins returned! Met a guy out in California with similar complaints with the same bike. He turned me on to a battery company that specializes in off road batteries for off road toys. I ordered one of their lithium batteries and never looked back. 2 years later and my pan america still runs like new! I also have a road king, that I put a lithium in, that had a replaced bcm by HD. The ghost on that bike left! I also picked up a new FXLRST back in November that has had to non starting episodes! No one currently makes a lithium fir it. As soon as they do I'm getting that AGM nightmare out of that bike! I truly believe it's the problem! It is funny that not every bike out their is freaking insane!😂

[@MrPanchoPlanet]

Ditto on the lithium batteries, I have 3 bikes two run lithium batteries with no issues, my year old RK Special will be next for a lithium battery, haven't had any issues yet maybe because I put it on the tender occasionally if I don't use it for more than a couple of days but not taking any chances and ordering a lithium replacement pronto. 👍

[@SmittyAZ]

@@MrPanchoPlanet I also have sport bikes, on the busa boards, there is still an argument going on regarding Li. I asked them about my Euro bikes that come from the factory with Li, if I should just swap them out to AGM, and would they? That usually ends it.

[@KareemHadee]

I don't ride a Harley, but I can honestly say all of the new ~2020+ bikes at some point will have issues with the battery. You may find you need to start the bike right away to avoid draining the battery as the lcd screens can take a minute or two to boot up. Also be careful with running accessories. For example if you are blasting music through your speakers and you pull up to a gas stop, you want to turn off your speakers completely to avoid draining your battery. Always carry a set of jumpers.

[@davidmueller4073]

I tried to buy the other day but my local dealer still wants 22%-25% as a starting point! I just can’t bring myself to grips with that!!! What are your thoughts?

[@rsanchez9192]

Somehow there’s a software glitch that intervenes when the bike detects even slightly lower than average battery voltage the system starts to intervene by prioritizing energy resources and strange problems emerge as a result.

[@kingkrimson8771]

Not a glitch, it's a "feature" of modern electrical systems like this one that use CanBus. They're very sensitive to having the correct battery voltage, if they don't get it all kinds of problems can happen as we've seen in this case.

Mine, fortunately has not had the issues you say, but the issue I did see, is when I did a stage one with wedge cleaner. The DLC connector had no power. The dealer verified no power as it did not connect to the service commuter. Dropped it off yesterday. My research on tracing the wire. is that the CAN BUS+ to the DLC connector is broken or a bad solder in the wire harness. Waiting on the dealer to find the issue and or problem.

Just based on my personal experience, Harley's biggest problem is their dealerships. Especially when it comes to trying to modernize. I had a Street 750 for 6 years and, it was a far better bike than people give it credit for, but the dealerships didn't seem to want to sell them and the service departments didn't want or didn't know how to work on them.

Dude I had a bit of an opposite experience. I had a not very intrusive noise coming from the cam shaft during the infamous oil pump issue times. So everyone freaked out. I was told that they had to contact corporate (tech department in UK) for instructions, if the issue wasn’t something obvious….like in this case. Their 1st answer was to check the oil pressure, which was a bit lower than it was supposed to be…. in idle. Then 5 days waiting for the next step. And so on. Every single step took about 5 days. It was right after COVID so the mechs didn’t have much work and did everything UK said pretty much right away. But the next step took 5 more days. Honestly, I think corporate instructed the right things in my opinion, so no complaints there. But boy… 5 days for every single sentence they wrote in that conversation was quite long. It was one of those chats with a girl that’s not very interested, so she texts you super short answers every few days. It was right after COVID and a lot of thing were still semi-functional, so I wanna believe that it had something to do with that. The dealership in the other hand, did everything as quickly as it gets and knew what the next steps were gonna bee, but had to wait for the messages.
