    2015/2016 Base Turbo Startup Issue

    I saw your thread - this is the main reason I am holding off with going to the dealer as long as I can use the bike - I am 30 days into my 2 year warranty and figured I'll wait till the dust settles with the firmware development / harness issues

    2015/2016 Base Turbo Startup Issue

    I will - problem is my workaround works pretty reliably right now and I simply have no time to drop it off - but I sure will. Local dealer is more than helpful here in Austin! I just wanted to reach out here for some pointers in case this happened to anybody else with the newer models
