Why are the speakers on my Harley Davidson not working?
Although impedance on speakers can fluctuate according to its use, lower ohm speakers generally require more power. Your stock radio is made to work with eight ohm speakers, anything less will cause problems on your bike such as sound fading out. A good telltale symptom is when the speakers fail 15 to 30 minutes into a drive.
Why is my Harley Davidson Ultra Classic not starting?
I have a 2010 ultra classic with ABS. It is not starting. The battery voltage is 12.75 off the battery. When I turn the main switch on, I get a drop to 12.5, and when the kill switch is turned on, I get a drop to 12.38. The self test goes out and hit the start switch with nothing – no volt drop, no starter engage, no nothing. DEAD.

What happens when you turn the radio up on a Harley Davidson?
Smoothing out the frequency response of the radio will do you no good if the factory radio distorts when you turn the volume up. What happens is that the radio clips (distorts) at a low volume when the factory speaker has been removed from the bike.
Do you need load resistors on a Harley Davidson radio?
If your radio is only flashed for two speakers you will not need load resistors on the rear outputs because they are defeated in the radio. The speed controlled volume feature increases volume of the radio as your speed increases. This is a cool feature, but is not a good thing if you have an aftermarket amplifier.

Why is my Radio cutting out on my Harley Davidson?
Last year on my way to Sturgis my radio started cutting out. When I say cutting out I mean the radio is working then the next second there is no sound from the speakers but the radio is still on and I can toggle between stations or flip through the normal radio functions. The only fix is to power off the radio and turn it back on.
