I was just at my local Harley Davidson dealership today here in Tampa Bay and a service advisor that I have a very good relationship with let me in on something that just came down from HD headquarters to ALL HD dealers.
Starting NOW if anyone brings in their Harley for service and it has any fuel pack other then the Screamin Eagle it will trigger an alert they will void the warranty with includes factory and extended. Normally when you have your bike serviced, including oil changes, most HD Dealers plug in to your diagnostic port. In the past we all knew adding a Fuel pack COULD void the warranty but the word was if you had a good relationship with your dealership they could overlook it. Again this is any HD dealership and may or may not include authorized HD repair shops.
This was brought on by a few customers that mapped their bikes incorrectly which caused engine problems then expected Harley to fix it. The Dealers were also told not to work on the any bike with any FP other then SE, including of course the very popular VH Fuel Pack many of us may or may not have. I can understand why HD resorted to this but it fills as if HD has become yet another corporate company and not the rebel bike builder we have loved and grew up with.
SO BE WARNED map your bike to factory and remove your non SE FP before taking it in for service.
