What do you mean "won't turn on"? When turning the "locking dial" to the start position, do you get anything at all like lights or start up sequence in the LED display? Engine turns over but won't start? A click or clicks when pushing the starter button? No noise at all when pushing the button?

I mean absolutely nothing. No dash lights, no codes no nothing. It is still under warrantee and it will be going back to the dealer. I was wondering what it was.

Turns out it was the BCM. Went to the dealer, they said I needed an appointment. So I made the appointment for Monday. When I tried to leave, nothing no lights no whistles,no bells. So it got fixed right there.

Could they have said "ECM"?

Glad you got it repaired. I have 2850 miles on my slim with nary an issue (knock on wood). I hope you're enjoying that great bike because I am happy with my Slim !!!

What is a BCM exactly? Just curious. A friends bike did that once. Only once, after a couple minutes of turning it off and on all was well again. His is out of warranty so I thought I'd give him a heads up just in case it becomes an issue we would know where to start.

Glad they found the pproblem. Only BCM I know is an AR15 manufacturer. lol So I'm curious as to what it was if not the ECM.

It sounds like the starter to me, due to heat being involved each time.

I just did a search for BCM, it stands for body control module, seems it combines the ECM, the HDLAN (this is the digtal wiring system/serial bus), The and fuses/breakers/relays.
Gees wonder what that would cost to replace without a warrantee.
