Fearless
Gone But Not Forgotten
Back in March I purchased the new Mighty mite Love Jugs (and I love what they have done for Engine Temps.). More on those another time. Shortly after we had good weather I posted about issues with losing read out for no reason. I contacted point of purchase DK customs first these people up to and including Kevin have bent over backwards helping me resolve the problems with the Power Vision. At first they referred me to fuel moto where Kevin gets the units with those fine folks over the phone they tried everything they could to no avail.
At the end of my session with Fuel Moto (and by the way these people also are a standup group trying to help) they gave me a number for Dyno-Jet in western Nevada. Now by this time I'm all but ready to spit nails at anyone who says there is nothing wrong with the PV ya kno... So I call Dyno-Jet and on the other end of the line is a calm intelligent computer geek who also rides, and understands my grief. I relate to him what is happening and to my surprise this guy says calm down can you send it to us and we will check it out. I mailed it the next day being sure I would get a report in a few days that it was defective nope did not to happen. The techs checked it out and sent it back with a clean bill of health. No note no nothing I called again and a little confused was told it is not the PV. Look else where for the problem.
Being a little stubborn I sent PM off to Kevin asking for some of his wisdom as in the beginning check list of things to look for pinched cable,a cable lying to close to another, try cable on top of tank I even purchased a new cable nope nothing worked. Kevin out of goodness of his heart says send to me I will test it on my machines and I will let you know, so packed it up and sent it to Kevin. Now I'm not sure how many miles he used it but had no real anomalies. When I got the PV I went back to square one before weather became nice.
I only briefly post about issues when this started and stopped for the simple reason I did not want to point fingers and not be sure of the problem. As I said I installed Love Jugs in March plug and play to the accessory port under the seat that plug and wiring to the lower dash had been there since October of 09 Manuf. date. I turned off fans at switch no hiccups so changed it. I hard wired the PV to the battery with the appropriate inline fuse. Wa La Power Vision has not hiccupped since. Now these circuits are not beside each other on top or below, there is no reason why when the accessory switch is on it interfered with the signal in the PV. If anyone can shed so light on why please let me know.
I did not post until I was sure beyond a doubt I had resolved, I was so flustrated I typed several threads bad mouthing the Power Vision and Dyno-Jet but I could not send them because I was not certain it was the problem.
Would not ruin or taint what someone else thinks of a product. It was my Machine the is defective or at least that circuit which I will have checked out soon but as long as it is turned off no problems.
I want to let everyone Know Kevin and his staff at DK Customs, the people at Fuel Moto and Dyno-Jet all were great throughout my ordeal. And believe me when the PV screen is not there to monitor it is missed. A special shout out to Kevin for taking the time to evaluate it personally thank you Kevin your support was invaluable to me getting to the bottom of the mystery :Meds: Ride safely Fred
