[QUOTE="singtheblues2, post: 1447046, member: 97981"] I thought I would wrap up this thread. My 2014 seemed to fix itself, and was running OK. Then I let is sit for a couple of weeks when I was out of town. I tried to take it for a spin when I returned. I Made it to the gate of our development before it started breaking down, sputtering and finally quit and wouldn't start. I had it taken to the dealer to figure out what the problem was, being convinced that it was some kind of electronic breakdown or bad module or computer. The problem was embarrassingly simple. Apparently there was a lot of water in the gas tank. When the bike sat the water settled out to the bottom. I think I know where I got the bad gas with water in it, and now I avoid that gas station. I couldn't see the water when I looked a while back, but I guess the lesson is to eliminate the simple and easy things first. [/QUOTE]
