Is it EITMS kicking it perhaps?

Use the PowerVision to flash the original calibration back onto the ECM and take away all evidence. I'm not sure if the PV sets the flags on the ECM to say it has been flashed, but you could always claim ignorance and say another dealership flashed a stage1 map onto it?

When I give it gas the bike gets up and goes like normal but it seems like it's lost a little power. That could just be in my head though. I have a 2012 and so it's got the Gear/RPM indicator in the odometer window. When the clutch is in it shows random gears when it's supposed to show nothing. Also a new thing has started as of the last few rides. The right blinker will occasionally blink about twice as fast as normal. I'm thinking more and more it might be a bad ECM. I hope not since I have a power vision and the dealer will probably tell me to pound sand when it comes to warranty.[/QUOTE]

My batteries are still the origanal one from when I picked up my bike on Feb 17th 2011. I guess I should change them soon.

Well I solved the blinker problem but not fixed exactly. It turned out to be a loose connector where it plugs in behind the brake light. I replaced the connector for a similar issue several months ago and it seems like I need another one. Does anybody have any ideas for why it might be getting loose. It seems like it's loose where the wires go into the connector itself.

I have bought my Lo since Oct 2011 and experienced several hard starts, in both warm and cold weathers. Since, I purchased the trickle charger and, more often than not, kept it plugged in. I found that, with the charger on, the bike seemed to start faster, within the first couple of cranks. My guess was that either the so-equipped generator was not built strong enough to keep the battery charged or the battery itself sucked at holding juice! In the meantime, I would keep the charger on as much as I could remember.
I do have some questions for the Lo brothers: what do you use to bring the shiny black look back to your leather bags or covers that are faded and looking brownish under the sun? Also, since I start using my phone as GPS on occasions, I'd like to know if there was some sort of holder to keep the phone on the handlebar, securely and in plain view? Looking forward to hearing from you all. Thanks.

Damn, I'm heading up there tomorrow. I would have loved to meet the "Dining Room Mechanic".

Then I'll be heading up to Pottsville, PA to tour the Yuengling brewery.

Tail of the Dragon is on my bucket list.

Hope your ride was great.

For a Ram Mount, try http://www.gpscity.com/mounts/&p=1&t=cell+phone+mounts

My GPS actually came with a couple of Ram Mounts. I've also ordered a couple of other Ram Mounts / items from GPS City.

That's a great start. Many thanks, TNB.
