    Hey guys got the bike back finally. Thought i list what they had on the repair tag for future knowledge.

    Bike wouldn't start:

    Tested the unit per manual,Found a code 78-1. Test for a bad Throttle body. As per manual they are bad.
    Call rta and dist manger I was told to replace the throttle body and retest. After install new throttle body also tested bad
    as per manual we replace the ecm. The unit started and ran with old throttle body and new ecm.

    Unit starts and runs now.

    The cost of repair if i had to pay was 1569.56 !! That is of course not including the throttle body which was 1843 by itself.

    The hold up on me picking the bike was the unused throttle body. Honda parts didn't want to take it back and credit them. I just waited for this to all work itself out. Which it did and now i have the bike back.

    They made a big deal over the Buzz bomb. Wouldn't reinstall it. Ill just leave it off as of now while i decide what i want to do with the bike. Man it is so muted without the bazz on it :(.

    I am glad you got it all worked out but it is stories like this that give me concern. I keep bikes a long time. It seems that this is a problem that could happen any time and someday without warrenty or factory support. I love all the whizzbang technology but not when it craps out. Everything breaks sooner or later.
