Sounds like a ground problem to me. I would start there, as it may save you some cash

I am continuing to look at the search, and one thing I read was water. I did wash under my seat last week, because I put my Corbin back on. Could it be water got in something under the seat?

What type of fuel management system do you have on it for your build?&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Reason for asking, if it's a power commander, they act crazy at times after getting wet.

OK.........thought maybe a power commander.&nbsp\\; It does sound like a ground issue of some sort.

Battery Connections.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; My work bike was doing that exact same thing (04 RK).&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; They were just sitting on there instead of secured.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Gotta love our shop.

Edit: Nevermind... you said you already did that.&nbsp\\;

Well after debating about it all night while I was working, I dropped the bike off at the dealer. I appreciate everyones help, but I figured I don't want the same thing to happen again cruising at 70 mph, it could have ended in disaster. There are just way too many things it can be. Hopefully the dealer can find it quickly and fix it. I will let everyone know what the outcome is in case it comes up for anyone else. Thanks
