| Symptoms | Possible Cause | Resolution |

| starter fries | old starter gear ratio | replace starter gears with the new ratio gears and replace starter |
| misfires while starting, and hard starting |
the software firing procedure allows the engine to misfire at start | upgrade ECU software to most recent version |
| Technition Fault | ||
| poor performance, hard starting, or engine surging |
these bikes are pretty new to the market, and a lot of dealers are incompetent at setting up and tuning them | find a better dealer nurse assistant education guide - cna classes online |
| grinding/creaking noises from rear wheel | rear axle was overtightened | replace rear wheel bearings and tighten axle with proper torque |
| backfires | blown exhaust gasket (they are very thin and sometimes overtightened) and possibly bent flange plate | replace exhaust gasket preferably with a thicker one and flatten flange plate |
