Default I got her back:)

I got my bike back today. They said they couldn't find anything wrong with her. They asked if I washed it recently...and I did...the day before she started acting up. It was more than likely water getting into the PCV and ECU connections...I wish I would have thought about that. I'm just glad she's good to go now and back home.

That's why I have tired hard to put my PCIII under the seat, you could get a lot of moisture and water down the frame there. No choice for 07 and up

Yea, that's what they said, "dielectric grease". I can't believe I didn't think about blowing out the connection and applying some dielectric grease to the connections...oh well...didn't cost me a cent for the problem. I had it turned in for the 1st service anyway, they had it for 2 days trying to see if there was an actual problem with her. Like I said before, I'm just happy she's back in my garage and hopefully I'll be able to ride into work on Monday.

Dielectric grease should help and possible prevent this as stated above.
