I agree with this. I rode in and it is in the high 20's here this morning. Would have never rode at this temp before the UC.

got my bike back, hd techs said to replace the micro starter relay and see if that works. bike is running good no codes are being kicked so hopefully this is the last of the issue. glad to be back on my bike and hoping for the best. going to put some new brake pads on today and clean up some of the mess that the mechanics left behind :/

6 months to diagnose a fuel supply issue with a clicking noise as a bad relay and give you your bike back all cruddy.. not much of service staff if you ask me.. you're better off to look for another repair facility in the future.


ps, hope its fixed for ya..

they clean the bike, but there is always a few smudges or water spots left behind. no biggie.
well the bike is back at the shop started it up yesterday and rode to work bike sounded like crap and seem to struggle the whole way to work, but seemed to run fine when i took it in that evening. except there is more vibration than usual and it still get some pretty good back fires now and than.
love riding the bike but am thinking i might need to sell it and get a more reliable transportation since the bike is my daily. I don't like having the thought of "am i going to make it today" in the back of my head.

just a little vent, thanks for listening. time for work and bring in the weekend.
