They don't even have the electronics diagnostic manual to follow. After two replacement IC's the bike still shows Theft Error with the new IC's. Any ideas?

yes, and on first go the tech line said they might have been sent a unit that was prior installed. but, having this issue over again this probably wasn't the case. there is a six hour offset in time zone here in hawaii and I think it's causing excessive delay between dealer and buell.

I had a similar problem at one dealership --- the cluster was fine, they just didn't know how to do it. They swore the new one was faulty and needed to be sent back. The I took it to Skip Fordyce HD and they got it right the first time. You might have your people call them at (951) 785-0100.

This might be really off-base and not possible but I am not convinced my 09 cluster mated correctly with my 08 bike.

Prior to the cluster swap my mileage was always lower than my riding buddy's bike ('Busa.) I attributed this to my speedo more accurate.

Post-cluster swap my mileage is a hair higher than my buddy's bike. However, my buddy upgraded to a GSXR-1000 about the same time I got my new cluster. I thought maybe the Gixxer speedo might have been corrected..or so I hoped.

What really got me thinking is that I went thru 2 of the radar check "Your speed is XX." and my speedo was low compared to the radar BOTH times. I believe one of the times, it was 45 speedo, 41 radar

Not to threadjack, but at 70mph indicated, my GPS says 67-68mph. Close enough for government work : )

so i may have solved the issue, but will have to wait until wednesday for an opening in the shop schedule. when i got back on the bike the anti-theft system was armed, which leads me to believe the system was armed while they were trying to swap IC's and the ECU did not like this.
