Need help asap
I have a 2012 FXS and am currently stranded in Iowa on my way to NC. I was on the interstate when the bike lost power. Bike will still turn over and start but runs for a second then stalls out. The bike is at dealer now, ran diagnostic am error code for the Voltage regulator came on for too high voltage. Regulator was swapped out or new and error code is gone but problem still continues. Fuel pump primes for less then stops at 12psi. Normally runs for a few seconds. I have to be in NC 1200 on the 25th as I am currently coming back from military leave. Any information I can pass on to the techs at the dealership would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, any questions, please ask I am getting desperate.

A similar thing happened to my wife's 2012 Heritage. Coming home from a road trip and the battery light comes on. It reads high voltage.... dealer says nothing else it could be but voltage regulator so we swap it out. That solved it, but the battery was pretty much jacked. It was reading 18 volts, so I had to drain it down to 12 volts leaving the lights on then put it on the tender for a full day before it would start the bike. Suggest to the dealer they put in a new battery to save time and make sure that's it.
Hope you make it back on time. I'm a 21-year AF vet myself. Stay safe.

I too am a vet. Call your boss first thing. If he can't/won't give you an extension, you have time for alternatives to get back. Don't call him Wed AM and put him in a bad spot. If you can't get a plane ticket call Enterprise and rent a car. Check your HOG membership, there are some coverages when your bike leaves you stranded over a 100 miles from home.

I just thought about this some more, the window has closed on you riding your bike back to NC and getting here by 1200 Wed. Even if it is ready to rock first thing in the AM, you are not gonna make it. By trying you, are setting yourself up to be one of those sad mishap reports all of the career military guys have seen. You are 2 long riding days and there ain't enough hours left to do it with any semblance of safety. You are not doing anybody any favors risking your life trying to ride home by Wed. Don't try it. Be a hero somewhere else. If anything get a U-Haul truck and take it home if you can't stay or leave it. Don't try it brother, we need you well even if you are late.
