Sounds like a ehc problem. Is that what they replaced or did they go ahead put and a wireplus on it?

 

[Five Five]

See if you can dig up some more info on what was diagnoised and what was the repair/fix ....

And out of courtesy to my fellow members here .... please take the time to do a little intro about yourself .... you will probably get alot more help that way.

Thanks "five"

Get rid of the BDM wiring and replace with a Thunderheart wire system.
You will have no problems and its an easy install.
You bought the bike to enjoy riding it. Just work the bugs out.

Sounds like a job for WIREPLUS

Let me know if you have any other cousins with Dog Problems, I'll be interested in getting the family discount on a new/slightly broken down Dog :lol:

[max davidson]

[max davidson]

thanks tim , where can i get em at ?

There's two ways to go.
1) Wire Plus system from wires plus. It removes ECH and you have to re-wire connectors.

2) Replace with PDM from Big Dog Performance parts. This is more of a plug and play.

Before you go overboard with major work, go to a Harley shop and pick up an AGM battery with 310 or more cca and make sure ALL your connections are tight. Start with the easy least expensive things first.

:2thumbs:
Also check you voltage at the battery, should be 13 to 14 volts with engine running. Come back and tell us what you find.
