Hello from 105 degrees!

just happened to me today when going for a ride. about 5 miles in my music started stopping and coming back on, like it was a bad radio signal but i was playing my spotify via bluetooth through my boombox. i looked down and my display was turning off but my outside icons would sometimes stay on but other times turn off with the main display.

helpful background - not sure if this information helps but may be relevant. this year i put in a lithium battery (harley brand) with no issues up until today. i went to start the bike and my battery voltage was near 0. i have a harley battery tender that had been plugged in for the last month but something must have discarged the battery completely as the harley tender was blinking yellow which i guess it does when the voltage is too low. charged the battery back up (took only 1/2 hour on normal battery tender) and then took the bike out for a ride.

I have uploaded 2 videos at the url below
...no need to comment i shouldn't record during driving....i know that...but what are your thoughts before i spend too much to have the dealer take a look?

thank you in advance!






 
Does it happen when you're in the driveway sitting still? Recheck your battery connections first.
 
no issues when it is idling in my garage...checked it twice but have not taken it out on the road for a ride to see if it is acting up only on highway
 
With it not acting up sitting still to me, that sounds like a wiring issue. Or worse case scenario, a circuit board going out on your head unit.
