Important Note
•
It is unsafe to look at the radio while riding. Familiarize
yourself with the radio controls in your garage. Allow yourself time
to normalize working the radio with hand controls and hearing the
results.
•
Sony radios emit a beep when control input is given. Keep
this feature enabled until you are acclimated to operating the radio
without looking at the radio face.
□
For handlebar radio controls to operate, the ⅛" L-shaped plug
on Black cable on the Biketronics module (Step 6.1, page 10-11)
must be fi rmly plugged in back of radio with Black cable pointed
straight up toward windscreen. If controls are not operating check
plug for corrosion. Note: BT1005 with Kenwood or JVC uses light
blue/yellow wire instead of black cable.
□
Check the radio memory and radio power fuses. Fuses must be no
greater than 10 amps. Check your Harley-Davidson shop manual
for fuse location.
1988-1997: Both radio memory and radio power fuses must
be changed to a 10 amp rating for radio to operate. Do not
exceed 10 amp rating.
Radio also has a 10 amp fuse located in back of radio.
□
Harley (1998-2005): If there is a dead circuit check the OEM radio
ground wire located on kickstand side of top triple tree cast iron
clamp. This ground wire (Black/green stripe) is attached on top
surface with a spade connector that can become disconnected.
□
Radio sound can be greatly enhanced by the use of tone and
equalizer bands. Consult radio instruction manual to access these
functions.
□
Addition of separate ground wire between radio and bike frame
can cure erratic handlebar controls of radio. Radio has bolt hole
(metric M4 x ⅜" bolt) in rear of unit for ground point.
□
If handlebar radio controls start to operate erratically, check for
pinched wires in handlebar control housings. If the problem still
persists call Biketronics for assistance.
