• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Well....it broke.

Battery isn't the issue. I ran not only the original oem but also my brand new replacement.

As for pulling codes, the guages cluster wouldn't even fully come on. No way to check if it's not activating.

But it's at the dealership now and waiting to be diagnosed. Will keep you updated as I learn more of what happened.
 
Well, got an update. ECU failure. So now waiting for new one.

My question is this: Are they replacing the ECU on their dime, or are they making you pay? Just wondering, my experience with other service departments for tractors and equipment has me feeling that they will be saying that since you attempted to install non factory approved accessories by a non approved service worker(insert lawyer gooblygook) it's your dime for all of it or part of it.

The dealership has it covered under warranty. No charge to me. The only thing I'm paying for is first service that I want them to do. I should hopefully have my bike back by the time I get home in about 3 weeks.

Did you return the bike to stock before giving it to the dealer?

Good for you, glad you got to the bottom of it!!! The electronics on these bike are touchy and probably didn't like you turning it on and off at every light or you grounded something out when you shouldn't have!! Glad they are covering it, you're lucky.

I did not turn it back to stock. I left my new headlights in and they covered it under warranty.

And who knows what set it off to have the ECU kill itself. But I can't wait to get home and be able to ride again. Only 2 and a half weeks to go.
 
Update on my bike today. The ECU has been replaced and the bike starts again. Replaced under warranty. They also fixed a wheel bearing that didn't sound healthy. Also under warranty. The only expense out of my pocket is the first service. I will be getting my bike back when I get home on May 13. So it will be a good Friday the 13th.
 
You are getting first time service at 200 miles? Did dealer tell you it needed serviced? Glad they replaced the EUC for ya.
 
It's getting the break in oil removed and changed. I also usually do service between 4 to 6 months because I don't put a ton of miles on it. My old Ryker had just over 2000 miles when I traded up for this one.
