well, the radio froze today (2nd day of riding it).

I was more worried about battery draining than anything else as the dash stayed on even with bike off.

I made it home after a few stops and meetings and disconnected the battery and reconnected the negative lead and all is fine. Hopefully isolated incident.

I don't think it has anything to do with it but I drove off with my kickstand down right before it froze. AS far as I know there is no sense on the kickstand. If there was then they would have integrated it into a kill switch when in gear and down (I wish it had this, used to it from my other bikes).

Anyhow, all is good and bike is awesome!

Yeah, mine did the same thing. Just the once. Tried everything I could think of at the time (I was at work, so no tools). While I was driving home (mad as a wet cat, of course) it suddenly popped back on and has worked perfectly since.

I read somewhere that the entertainment system doesn't like being powered on when the bike is shut off? maybe that has something to do with it? I haven't shut the bike off with the radio on since.

Mine did the same thing last week ( 1 week after the newest reflash) on the way to the dealer for something else. They called Victory and they said to disassemble the console and unplug the power connector. This worked and they also said there would be yet another new reflash out very soon: dealer said it arrived today on their computer. Hmmmmm...

Do you know what version arrived today? I wonder if it truly is new firmware.

BTW, no more problems today. Working great!

I had this several weeks ago. Dealer flashed and it's working fine now.
