Software Update

performanceguy said:
1. Has never been done on my bike since I got it afaik..
2. Is it free at dealer or will they charge?
3. Is the latest version AOK? I read about previous versions so was never interested.

Thoughts?

Greetings from Montreal
I brought mine spring 2023 everything was fine until the first check up where the dealer install a update (that when my problems started).
I had issue with the auto cancelling of the turning lights every two hours or so the system would reset it self cancelleling what I wanted and some bugs when charging.
It would stop for no reason and refusing to restart let says at 6 amp, and last spring with the latest update they fixe the turning lights but the charging still stop charging once and a while, as well in the last page of the software there is the version of the software and as well the health of the battery regarding the charging % but on mine it doesn't show that pourcentage and it's important to know it since we have a 5 years warranty on the battery or 70 000 km the we should have at least 70% of the battery charging power.
I know talking with the service they do have problem as well with the 1200 RT bike who use the same display.
My warranty finish next spring hope they come up with a final fix for those bugs, except that, it's a joy to ride the beast!

That sounds cool, any chance you could do a write up in a forum post? Or are there already people who have done it and written about it?

Without explicit instructions, files, and part numbers I worry it's a quick way to brick this cool scooter. I've spent decades in embedded software and sadly have seen the way things go pear-shaped in the blink of an eye. Unless I were desperate, I would be reluctant to venture into this territory without a lot of documentation.

My bike is just 3 years old with a very low mileage & no problems, from what I have read on here I'm very reluctant to have the Update. My philosophy is leave well enough alone & if it ain't broke don't fix it. 😎 🛵 🥸
