Tired of my Sportster S issues

[Gaebril Atlas]

Took my '23 Sportster S out on quick ride and it broke down 3 blocks away from home! Dealer said dead battery, took hours to fix, and they had trouble replacing it.

Around a year of endless electrical issues, the dealer always says nothing was wrong but it keeps stalling.
A friend recommended a different garage to take a look and they found that the battery wasn't installed right. The dealer fixed it after that.



However, 2 weeks later I took it out again for a quick ride and guess what? It's dead again. It won't even start and it has full battery! 

anyone else had this issue? Been thinking of taking this to court. I'm just so fed up with it already

That sounds really frustrating since you went to the dealer multiple times already. I get your pain but really is it worth going to the court? Is that exaggerating or? But if the problem really is getting on your nerves already, make sure you document everything and then talk to your lawyer to know what to do.

heyyo probably something deeper going on in the wiring or ECU that's not being caught, try having a proper diagnostic done at an independent shop just to get everything documented in case you do go the legal route. Hope you find a fix soon, no one should have to stress every time they try to ride.

Incredibly annoying. It sounds like there may be problems with the alternator, voltage regulator, or loose connections. Get a third-party mechanic to do the diagnosis, and if you proceed, keep records. I hope it's resolved quickly
