ECM warranty?
The dealer is sayin I have 3 circuits fried in my ECM... In another thread I read that they are covered for 5 years? Can anyone verify this.. I should have removed the PCIII before takin it in... I also read that steel braided spark plug wires can be a source of the problems I am having... I just want to try a couple of different things before goin' for the new ECM as people have said they were told the same thing replaced it and it still ran like crap... And if it is a warranty item I'll remove PC and bring to another dealer...

fish: My '04 police model EG owner's manual says the Emission Control System Warranty is for "5 years or 18,641 (30,000 kilometers) whichever occurs first."
I don't know if there is a difference between the police model and civilian model emissions warranty, but I doubt it. Perhaps someone else can chime in.

This is Harley Speak. I had one that would not work, and they said since it would not code, they would not do anything about it.. It now sits on my desk, while a Thundermax is in the bike. Best thing I ever did. Buy a Thundermax, find an independent, and you will get things fixed right the first time. There is no reason to go to a dealer, warranty is useless in my opinion. After Thundermax, I have cooler running, better throttle response, and better gas mileage. The auto tune module is easy to deal with, and I do not have to listen to stupidity from a lifestyle technician at the Tshirt Store. Dealers Suck! I don't use them. They are there to sell you a raw product that they do not have the time or the knowlege to properly understand or maintain. Independent shops are in business to make money FIXING BIKES...
As always just my opinion. But I have lived the drama of dealers in the MD VA area, and I was NEVER impressed. Ever. Sad.

RE: ECM warranty?
Yeah. Look in your manual, in the rear, in the pages with the black band on the outer edges. The product is certified to meet EPA specs for 5 years or 18,641 miles (30k kilometers). If the ECU isn't working it can't meet that requirement. No way, no how.
The tool they'll probably try to use to weasel out of it would be exception number one: "Failures which arise as a result of misuse, alterations, accident or non-performance of maintenance as specified in the Owner's Manual."
