What a long two months...
My instrument cluster freaked out two months ago. Cruising at 55/60 mph, then the speedo goes to ZERO for 15 miles, then to 180, then instantly back to Zero. The engine check light comes on, throws nine faults, all invalid. Then the low fuel light comes on. ugh...
I knew these issues were coming and at 900 miles they arrived.
To the dealer in early April sat for a week, check bike out for track day. Then back into shop. New IC arrives, shop tries to install for 10 days. Bad IC, need to wait two more weeks and reorder a new one....
Then the Federal Safety Vehicle dudes announce a recall on the front brake line...minor...I show the shop the recall on 4/10ish, it is effective on 4/20. I pick the bike up on 5/15ish, second IC not in yet, recall not repaired.
I'm just a tiny bit up set.
Write Buell a letter, get a call from Buell a week later. They apologize up and down, and order the parts for me, from the factory (dealer had failed to do so).
I go to CA for my track day. Drop bike off yesterday and today I pick it up and it is fixed, 100%. Thank goodness....
Week after next we are back to AF1 Racing for the ECU flash, the Power Commander and the dyno tune....
Why you ask? You gotta ride one! What an amazing bike.
Besides, the new IC has a gear position indicator, very cool! :rockon:
