2014 losing power
« on: October 13, 2015, 11:31:00 PM »

just got my ds back from dealer with new power tank installed, and riding home from work last night cruising at around 65 it started  losing power as if i had cut the throttle, it was startling. i rolled off throttle and back on and it recovered a little, but it did this 6 times within 10 miles. it still had about 50% charge. Made it home no problem with 30% left, it's about 60 miles round trip. i noticed before the tank install i would get the hot light on panel when cruising, but always slowed down till it went out. i know the dash is jacked from the dealer, trip doesn't work and odo reads 230000, so could the heat  light not be coming on? that would suck if i can't cruise 65mph on the freeway. It has less than 500 miles on it.

To hazard a guess: there's probably an issue with the way they installed it, so you should schedule another visit to fix it. Try sending the logs to Zero (or even better, sending them to yourself and running the new log parser utility if you feel up to it) and see what they make of it.
