Did anybody

had BRAKE FAILURE scolling across the screen while I was in Colorado, knowing it was low break fluid didn't bother with it till I was leaving for Durango the next day, Stopped by RPM Motorsports in Denver and they helped me out by letting me have some brake fluid. Brake Failure scrolling didn't quit. brakes are still working fine, but according to the Owner's Manual, I now have a faulty sensor.

Keep an eye out for LOW BRAKE PRESSURE, Joe. I had an identical situation. Added fluid, nothing happened. Couple weeks later the brake pressure message came on. Had to have the brakes bled.

I have heard of several other people needing to bleed their brakes. Seems to be a virus out there...

It was an F1 shield from Marcel. I don't think there is a stock shield that would do the job for me at my size. I installed it's replacement yesterday, a Madstad, and I think I'm going to like it even better.
The break on the old shield was kind of funny. It just kind of folded over over the tank when I was going through St. Louis. I guess it could have been a big deal had it become completely detached but it didn't so no harm, no foul.

The shield "melted: and folded back, Dick? You're the second person I've heard this happening to. You'll like the MaddStad although it can be a pain to adjust those brackets.

I did that too, lesson learned, there are no gas stations for 18 miles on AZ-303 coming south from flagstaff on I-17. 145 miles between stations on these 2 roads running about 75-80 mph (5mph above the limit of 75). reminder, on traveling this stretch, fill up before hitting the 303.
