    Riding an '09 I certainly hope you haven't had any problems:)
    No one knocking the electronic sensored bikes...I put the EFI cop king through hell and back in weather you wouldn't put a dog out in,and it has never let me down or left me stranded....but, if a sensor did give up the ghost,there's no way to jury rig a sensor to get you home...it needs to be replaced:)

    Yup, they are very good, and more reliable than in days gone by. They rarely go bonkers. But when they do, better hope it was just payday!
