[QUOTE="Lowcountry Joe, post: 1246296, member: 14645"] Ion gives a great explanation of the root of many failures. My take in your original situation would be that your mount was not able to provide consistent contact between the unit and the power source from the mounting cradle due to vibration or whatever. That's all a mechanical thing, and mechanical things will fail as we all know. I switch my Zumo 550 back and forth between my 2015 FJR and my HD Ultra Limited. Both cradles are mounted dead center, not out on the ends of the bars where vibrations are usually magnified. I have yet to ever have a failure with the 550 related to intermittent power to the unit on either bike. I think your move to the middle will give you better more reliable service assuming the unit is 100% reliable within it's enclosure. [/QUOTE]
