Default Never even made it out of the shop
Mechanic just called, they took her out for another test, smoking like a b--ch, got to tear her down. Said they will honor the warranty. Life is not pleasant in my house right now!!!!!

At least they didn't give it back to you and say it was all fixed.... Hope they get it done soon... Sounded to me like it was a mechanical problem from the start...

F'in sucks man! Its a brand new bike for freaks sake! What kind of mickey mouse chit they runnin over at that dealer. Not even my bike and I'm getting frustrated.

Tell them to pull the PC completely off, do a stage 1 HD download, and ride it that way to see if its mechanical or if its the PC.

Soup, thanks for the warning brother...I didn't plan on riding with it like this. How long did you ride with the issues? Mine isn't smoking or anything yet but I'm not going to give it a chance to...now I just have to find someone with a trailer, shouldn't be very hard. She should be right as rain when you get her back...good luck.
