Yeah, and I'd be contacting someone about some free servicess for your inconvenience, if they can't get it right, check the lemon laws in your area, and see about a new bike.

For the same accessories on a GW will cost more than a Ultra. Some things are not even offered.
I like GW's, I have 1.

If it is trowing codes then the problem/s has not been fixed. Unless it is different codes.

It is up to you what you do.

What year? How many miles?

Why do so many people come on with a problem but provide so little information?

So you have a low battery code, how long did you let it sit with out being on a charger, an a rear cylinder no combustion code, is it running on one cylinder? Is it running fine? Is it a current or historic code?

Info man, you cant fix a problem with so little info!

BTW if you THINK a Wing is gonna fix all your woe's dont let the door hit ya.........

Thanks for the replies so far. I am trying to make up my mind because I am so frustrated.
The codes that the bike have thrown are for different problems that the bike has had . The dealer has fixed those isses and new and different ones have appeared. You think the bike was maybe made in china?

Some people say I have no issues, but the truth is because they do not ride that much. I put 1500 miles a month.

To me, if you continue to see issues after the same dealer says they have fixed the bike, then perhaps the tech's doing the work are not truly resolving the problem.

Good luck with your decision.
I would agree...Take it to another dealer and see what they come up with...It sounds like you need someone who can actually diagnose a problem not just a parts changer.

You just need somebody that knows what they're doing to fix the Codes. have they checked the wring harness. Mine kep throwing one last year on the way to Sturgis, (kept going), but I found out it was two wires grounding on the harness. But if you want a Wing Sail on Bro.

Perhaps, but...If c50plus is going to the same dealer, more likely than not, he's getting the same tech each time. Would it not be a flag to keep seeing a guy come in with 'code' problems, regardless of whether they were the same or new/different ones?

If I were the Tech, I would be scratchin' my head saying "hmm...maybe there is something more subtle happening that is causing these codes to be thrown."

But, since that does not 'appear' to be happening, "I" would go to a different dealer and see if their tech's are more pro-active.

Alas, the choice is up to the owner. Being satisfied with your bike isn't just about the bike, but also the dealer that performs the service (if one utilizes a dealer for service).

My suggestion was more about getting a different set of eyes on the problem(s), to see if perhaps they can deduce the root cause problem.

No vehicle is perfect, Bike, Car, Truck. They all have problems of one or another. You could possibly just have a lemon, or something more seriously wrong with your bike. I personally wouldn't jump ship, but I would definetly try to contact corp, to see about maybe trading in if this issue keeps happening. "Jap" bikes have thier issues too.
