On a lot of other early EFI systems, you can clear the codes by pulling the fuse going to the ECM, or pulling the plug, etc. I don't know about yours, but after retrieving the code, that's what I would try.

 

i know i learn alot more than i contribute to this forum, but thanks for the info guys, I'm printing the directions off and putting them in my tool cabinet now!! I've paid the $100 for them to tell me nothings wrong before.

 

Thanks for all the tips guys. Something strange happened...the light doesnt come on now. Ive had the bike for a month and every single time I started it the light came on now I go out there to start working on the problem and the light is gone. It still comes on before I start the bike but now it wont come back on. Any idea what gives?

BTW thank you for being patient with me. Im 30 years old and dont have much mechanical experience. Im also very intimiated when I go to the dealer because I feel like a fish out of water. I really appreciate the advice and information here.

Also, I think this dealership sucks. They pretty much ignore me. I assume its because I dont dress the part yet. I asked the service writer what the easiest way to connect an Ipod to my radio and he told me to got to RadioShack. WTF.


Anyways, Thanks again for all of the help.

 

see, the bike fixed itself because it knew you came to the experts!

 

Maybe the dealer cleared the codes when you were getting the service quote?

 

bike will self clear after several start/stop cycles IF code does not come on during those start/stop..about 50 or 60 cycles..

 

to clear an old code you can also disco. the battery or fuse...bike will reset.

 

on a 98 road king with efi..the check for codes is completed as mentioned before with the on/off cycle and reading of flashing codes..
may wish to consider purchase of a service manual..it will pay for itself after one use..ebay or 20% off stores like chicago Hd have the official harley service book..the book is excellent and along with the forum you should be able to tackle many projects..
