Good to hear Polaris pulled through for you.  Hopefully your last bike was just a lemon.

Nonlemon! My  Empulse was great! 25K miles over three years,,
I think it was just a glitch, maybe a software re-set or re-install the software would have taken care of it,,,

But I like them new bike, Indian Chief,,
Totally different kind of bike, big, heavy,, sweet ride,,

Ok,, my dealer has had my bike more than 4 months,, (I have previous post)
I just picked up a bike from my dealer that they swapped out for me,,

I don't want to get anybody all excited, but when I had my bike at the local dealer here in hawaii, they had a hard time ordering parts ,(nothing appeared on line) so I called up Polaris directly,, and asked what they could do to help,, they said just have my dealer order on line,,

I said ,, they can't! No parts show up,, well,, they have to use the printed catalog, and enter part numbers online,,
Ok,, so that helped my bike get back on the road,,
In January,, my dealer received my bike,, and haven't had any chance of getting it to start, run, or even charge!
They tried checking the fuses, VCU, and other things,, I had suggested re-setting the software, or better yet re-installing it,,
But I don't  think they have he equipment to do it,, long story short, my genius wife suggested that I ask Polaris about maybe a swap out for another bike,, and they came back a few days later and said I could!

I just picked up a new Indian bike yesterday!! So happy! It's NOT electric, but it should run for a long time, and still be supported locally and by Polaris!
I have been waiting more than 4 months, so I don't think a one day call will net anyone a new bike,, but they really came through for me!

The replacement bike is NOT electric,, but is is nice has lots of power,,,

Here's what I just posted d elsewhere,,,

Ok! I'll check that when I get home,, on vacation now,,,  thanks!

When the key goes in, and turned to run,,, nothing happens!
No lights up, no sounds, no screen on,, nothing!
And when it is plugged in to power, the lights come on,, the ones that usually come on, the rear light, and the screen doesn't even light up!

Ok,, now I got homework this weekend,,
Thanks for the tips!

I had my bike repaired a few weeks ago, and they replaced the handelebars and other stuff,,
I'm thinking maybe that light have something to do with it,,,

Again, Screen just died at about mile 9 of my 28 mile drive home
Rpm gauge stuck at 3200 RPM
On restart (at home) appears normal,,,

Screen just died halfway home,
Rpm gauge stuck at 3700 RPM
On restart (at home) appears normal,,,

So my instrument cluster just all of a sudden goes black, and speedometer is stuck where it was when bike went black,, I just relax the throttle a bit and hope to get home,,,
No problems, but don't know what my battery percent is, or my speed,,
I do get home,, but two days in a row and I'm thinking something is just not right with the bike,,

Anybody else ever happened to???
No warning Or fault codes when I turn it off and turn it back on when I get home,, appears normal,, the battery shows up when I restart, at about where it should be, and the mileage appears to also be correct,,,

I might look into the cases. It be nice to not have to carry the charger on my back and have a place for a passenger helmet. How hard are they to take off for some spirited riding? Also notice any range reduction with the extra drag?

The hard cases take only 30 seconds to take off,,, super easy
