Auto Updates on Explorer E +2:

Just cranked over 8000 kms and the little wrench showed up on my display and a message telling me my bike needs attn. Contacted dealer. I was told the updates can make the bike not run quite as well. I was further told to ignore the wrench and keep riding. If I have a prob with the bike, then bring it in. Does not make much sense. Whaddya think????

The wrench appears after a predetermined distance. If the bike is running fine just ignore it - it'll disappear eventually. It's not a sign of any issue.

Ditto for the firmware: if the bike is doing what you need ignore it. Occasionally Giant will push through an update that is a step backwards. They did that a couple of years back. It made the auto mode less responsive. Having said that I've had no issues with the recent updates.

Thx Mac. That confirms what my tech said, but it still gives me a concern that Giant is pumping out updates that might actually derogotarily impact on the bike performance. What's that all about.
