I keep getting the cel on startup but not if it's on the charger. Right now the all the bike will do is idle on 1 cylinder. This is 2015 and I see no point in an "intelligent pcm" if it can't beat this.

Call the manufacturer and find out what's wrong.

Not seeing enough voltage when ignition is turned on. Chris @ Cycle Solutions made sure to warn me that this sort of "event" was common with the '14-'15 bikes.

Thundermax will help you get it working. They have good customer service by email, even if you buy the unit used. Mine works great.

Have had 2 bikes, both with Thundermax. Love it. Customer support has been great. No problems, just questions, and they were more than willing to help.

I had the cel light on the first hard fast trip I took, was for o2 sensors. Cleared them, and since, have 2000 trouble free miles. Had another on my previous bikes, love them. Had a FP and PCV, the FP had something burn inside, they fixed it under warranty. The PC was powerful but no feedback O2, the Tmax with wavetune for my 14 RK runs super strong. 0 problems since the initial O2 code.
