That's why I told my dad to wait to get his until next year. NEVER buy first gen ANYTHING. Regardless of the company, you are paying them to test their products for them the first model year of a new concept/design.

4 OCT UPDATE:
RESULT OF DEALER REPLACING THE ECM

- Dealer just told me the replacement of the ECM made the puking worse
- at 11 miles at stop light the overflow tube poured out full
- Moco is ow sending dealer a "complete new right side" for the coolant system
- might arrive at dealer today
- I reminded Service Manager that this is repair attempt 4.
- I have owned my bike for 28 days
- It has been in the dealer for 11 of those days
More to come

wow that's strange out of all the post on here from all the people having problems I believe you are the 1st to have a bike push the coolant out the overflow while running.
mine has never leaked a drop while running only came out the overflow after shutdown but I stopped that weeks ago.
