K so here is the deal, i went out riding last week and started out everything was fine, then after about and hour or hour and a half, i lost my guages, no power to them what so ever, no tach nothing. then within a few minutes the sled started to run like crap no power, bogging badly, just sounded like shit too. i didn't pull the plugs i went straight to A/C dealer and dropped it off cuz i'm frustrated i've only had the sled for about 4 weeks it is brand new and has only about 160 miles on it. they got to it today and last i heard they were having the same problems with it, but weren't sure what it was and were waiting for a call from tech support for help, we had originally though it might be the computer or the stator, and i don't think they are ruled out but they are not confirmed either. anyone have aany ideas, maybe this problem sound familiar, HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has the output from the voltage regulator been checked? Mine behaved the same way yours is and it turned out to be a bad voltage regulator.

Check the wires underneath at the back of the tunnel going to the brakelight. They are in the open and they get damaged and ground against the chassis.

Yeah Im with MonsterM7 wiring. Not only the wires to the brakelight, check for a bad connection to your heated shield plug if you have one. I had a bad connection there and when it grounded it would kill the sled.

UPDATE: it ended up being the voltage regulator, but thanks for the input guys.
