Water temperature code in ECM??

Heard from one of the shops we are in contact with, that a water temp code surfaced, on a late 2013 touring model.
What's up with that, or do I already know that answer?

I hope he was talking about his truck.

very interesting, I always used to say if you wanted to know what a company was doing, get to the bean counters. I guess I could add, get to the programmers now.

Coming to an HD dealer near you in 2015, WATER....     :tfhat:

Are the engines compatible enough that the v rod and air cooled engines could use the same ECM so it would be a cost saving thing?  You bagger guys like to ride in the rain a lot so maybe you could use the signal to modify the timing and fuel tables to compensate for the rain temperature being sucked into the intake  :wink:

I suspect they are the same. Engine temp can be water or head, just different temps in play with different sensors.

I heard a story about the older race tuner was limited to 7000 rpm and the vrod software wasn't. So....

Looking at the design of the FLH2O heads it will be interesting to see how many head porters will turn them into water cooled exhaust. Could be the end of hogging out the exhaust ports.

We will find out when we go to right up the road to the 110th in a month or so.Reminds me of when motocross bikes started water cooling the heads first.  Paul :smile:

Hydro-Glides coming soon.

Eventually. Still room with the air cooled to pass EPA from what I see.

Heard rumor of no Roadglide for a year or so, then reintroduced. Seemed fishy since they are finally catching on as cool, but maybe they will be the first swimmers since the shark nose and all.

Water will be great, better temp control=higher compression=higher potential Hp on pump gas. Win win

A water cooled engine may be thermodynamically superior to an air cooled engine but I think a radiator ruins the lines ( appearance ) of  a v-twin.

Not if the two radiators are hidden in the lower fairing as shown in the patent drawings.
