1981 FXE Wiring Issue

Electric

I have a 1981 HD FXE. The issue is in the wiring system. If I have the wiring hooked up properly for starting, it keeps cranking. I then have to disengage the wire from the battery for it to stop. I have changed the relays, breakers, solenoid, starter, double checked all of the wiring according to my diagram and everything is wired correctly. Can you provide any assistance? I am preparing my bike for heading to Sturgis and would really appreciate your help.

Thanks

Steering Neck Adjustment

Maintenance

My Question to y’all, do you think it is reasonable to be charged for a Steering Neck Adjustment at 5,000 miles,( instead of warranty claim)? All the HD Touring service manuals state lubricate at 1k, 10k and 20k and an adjustment isn’t even needed till 25,000 miles. I took it in due to some knocking in the steering neck area to Mancuso Harley, Houston and they just called to tell me the “steering neck adjustment” would be $125 and that he checked with Harley and they wouldn’t cover it because it’s a wear item. A steering neck adjustment is a wear item at 5,000 miles? Thanks for any advice and comments….BUT I’m on my way to pick it up NOW.

Alarm Issues

Electric

I recently had to replace my battery in my 2002 Screaming Eagle Road King. Everything was fine after the R&R. I managed to get one ride in before having to store the bike for approximately 2 months. The siren started going off and fob will not disable it. In one instance I even disconnected the battery while the siren was going. It did not stop for about 30 seconds. I am not sure where the siren module is located to check the back up battery or if that is even the problem. I am hoping you can help.

Thank you
