Default IDS Poll

Was wondering how many, with the IDS installed on their 07's, have actually had a problem with it?

Ok. I screwed up trying to post a poll vote. So I guess if you want to, you can just post a message on whether 1. your IDS has failed, 2 you're worried now that your IDS is going to fail, 3. you're happy with your IDS, 4. think we've started a new paranoia about the 07 tranny again.

Worked on mine,bike is now much quieter,no brg failure,not worried about it.Many 08s have been running these w/o the problems mentioned by the 07 crowd.Factory installed the 08s,owner or dealer installed the 07s.I think this is where the problems have come from.

Why don't you go back and edit your original post. I think you can do that.

BTW, I had an IDS installed on my 07 with no problems after 2K miles.
