Same problem with my '11 RGC pretty much exactly the same mileage stated above. It only took about 1.5 hours for them to figure out what was wrong and actually fix it. I have since had the bike through a code that put the bike into "limp" mode again but I think that was just a hicup in the throttle I cleared and reset the codes myself and have had another 1000 problem free miles. Check my other posts to find out how to read your own codes, what they mean and how to clear them.

Just got the bike back from the dealer. It actually had a ground short up behind the instruments. They said 2 wires had rubbed together causing them both to fray. They fixed it and seemed to be back to normal on the ride home. I'm a happy camper again!! Bryan
