All the issues

Two years of owning mine and I still struggle with rolling the dice every time I back it out of my garage. I can unplug it from the battery tender, roll it back ten feet, turn the ignition on with 12.1 - 12.2 volts present, press the starter button, and listen to it try to start "Grrr-eerrr-eerrrr" while throwing fault codes, check engine lights, warning triangles, and tripping the ride mode selector to little more than a worthless warning triangle, etc. etc. I'm on software 5.1380.65 20230911. About the only thing software updates have changed to me are eliminating the heated grip symbol on the gauge when it's not in use, and changing the flashing shock absorber icon from yellow to green. I love the bike but this has unquestionably been the largest thorn in my side since purchasing the bike - how HD ran these bikes through "grueling" testing and never saw this - or chose to fix it - is beyond my comprehension. :(
