Unhappy Radio problems

On my 06 Ultra, it started a month ago. If I leave the radio on and shut off the bike, sometimes it will blow the memory fuse on the radio about 1 out of 20 times. Today I was riding and I hit the station selector switch, the music changed but the display stayed the same ! I shut the bike off, waited a few minutes and everything is fine. What gives ? It never sets outside and I make sure not to get water on windshield or radio.

common problem on the 06's It was the first year of the Harmen-Karden radios, and they had some problems. Mine was replaced twice while under warrenty. Hope you got the extended Warrenty, that radio is 1300.00

From what my local dealer/mechanic told me about the radios is if mine worked is is better than the rebuilds they are getting for replacements. They are changing the same radio more than a dozen times to get one that will work part of the time. The warranty replacements are refurbished units and they are junk, from what the local dealership is telling me.

Blew my fuse twice in one week. Both times the bike was turning a corner and hit a bump. Is this the same issue or do you think I should take the fairing off and start checking for bar wires?
