Ok so I got "Diablo" back from the dealer after a 4 day sabbatical post-reflash issues. She was not a happy camper. She was very touchy and developed temperament issues, subsequently so did I. The timing and clutch were gacked up bad. There was a rattle (I think I previously referred to it as rice crispies sound).

I was beginning to think the unthinkable when out of the shop she came running like an (expletive metaphor) and I have officially fallen back in love!! Diablo is back and ready to rock & roll....

Bought her some bling (the blue hero shield) which looks kinda sweet. Anyhow, thought I'd drop a line of optimism.

Any Buellers from SE Wisc going to 105th that wanna ride?

Glad to hear your bike is back!

But if Diablo is a girl, shouldn't you call her Diabla?

Dog-I was feeling the same way I assure you but I took her back and encouraged them to take a second look. Sorry to hear you're unsatisfied. In previous threads there is rumor more re-flashes are coming.

You can come ride Diablo anytime, LOL.

Pariah you have a point. Since I'm a chick and my bike is a girl, does that make me.....Noooooooo. Not that that's a bad thing.

Michelle, so did they say what was wrong? Just curious cause others have reported the crackling noise after having the recall service.

Spec-

Unfortunately the tech wasn't there when I picked up my bike. The other guy gave me a service ticket which listed the details of the re-reflash but I had no place to carry it cuz I was going riding so I left it there. They're a few blocks from my house. He did mention the cam when he test rode it. Sorry I can't give you more but the crispies are gone and the clutch is better than ever. Still a slight "chuggle?" at low RPM but not nearly as bad as before, I can hang...
