Default Couple of times

Mine has stopped controlling a couple of times. Both times I unhooked my battery for a couple of minutes then hooked back up and it worked. First time I discovered this when replacing a old battery that was failing. I blamed the problem on low voltage. Second time was during winter before I hooked up my tender, same issue, battery got low the hand controls quit, even after charged back up, so I just guessed and unhooked cable for a couple of minutes and whamo it worked ok after re-connecting. Low supply voltage must lock up the Biketronics unit.

Why would you ask about powervision? Reason I ask is that I have one on my bike and also the bike tronic kit and I haven't had an issue yet.

starting to see issues where when the PV is IN GAUGE MODE, it's interfering with handlebar control modules. ALL OF THEM, not just Biketronics.

Take it out of gauge mode and all is fine.

Guess I'm one of the lucky ones. Have had mine on for a little over a year, and haven't had a problem.

Mine keeps cycling the volume up an down by a notch or two every couple of seconds. Can really hear the difference but I see my screen change out of my peripheral vision. It's annoying.
