[QUOTE="two wheels, post: 1445157, member: 97828"] [I]Dropped on the right side =Would be on the opposite side of shift linkage BUT as you said I would do as you say and suspect a electrical problem BEFORE I would suspect MCU. Could have just created a open circuit through a connector or perhaps a ground wire now has a problem.This one could be a fun one to diagnose,Lots of things to look at. I was talking to a PO of my 2007 AE the other day and he told me a story about being in Montana with his Wife. They were heading over a pass with a inch of snow on the ground when he noticed his right hand was getting cold. He rode that way for quite a while swapping left and right hands onto the left grip that still had heat. The bike ended up stalling out and after asking the forum for some input he ended renting a u-haul to the tune of 6 or 7 hundred dollars to get the bike home. Diagnosis was improperly installed right grip heater wire went to ground and eventually caused some sort of electrical gremlin to disable the bike .He later found out all he had to do was disconnect the grip heater and clear the code and he could have ridden the bike home. Who;d A thunk it?? I love educational stories like that.My AE is very new to me and I am discovering it can have a few quirks of its own. I am lucky as I do have a electrical background and with enough time and a service manual I think I can figure these once in a lifetime gremlins out. [/I] [/QUOTE]
