KuRi,  if you are in the US using  120/240 volt split phase,  what you described sounds an awful lot like you lost your neutral.  It happens much more frequently than you know.  This causes devices to force return back thru each other, instead of having a nice neat path to N or G.  This will make voltages go crazy, can greatly amplify harmonics, cause devices on signal rejection to see sometimes double the frequency, it causes all kinds of hell AND your stuff is now BTFU.

BTW.  Do you have a mortgage?  If so, you probably have insurance on your house. You pay for it, USE IT !!!
File a claim with the power company too, demand to know what went wrong, and get them to pay for the new stuff you have to buy OR get your insurance company to pay for it.  This is a no fault 'event', meaning YOU didn't cause it so they really can't hold YOU liable for it and hump your rates next cycle.

do you live by salt water?  the neutral dropping out is a very common event, as the aluminum N wire corrodes a lot faster than the CU line leads.   anyways, my point being, it sounds like you just coughed up a LOT of money, THIS is why we have insurance, don't be afraid to use it... and if it burned up your bike battery, well they can get you a new bike or battery too then maybe??  Remember, everything up to the weather head is THEIR responsibility, not yours.

I live in Spain, and of course I have already filed a claim with the power company. However I am still waiting for a response.

Thanks!

Regarding the DSR/X looking or feeling cheap: I wonder if there is a difference between 2024 and 2023 models. I have a 2023 and it does not look or feel cheap--almost as solid as my 2017 BMW R1200GSA.

Same with my 2023 DSR/X. So far, not a single rattle or unexpected noise and not a single bug since I owned it.


But to nitpick a little, the high beam is not adjusted correctly from new, and I never got around to trying to adjust it.


To compare, my Experia is full of intermittent bugs, but the high beam on it is perfect.

Probably you got a DSRX assembled in the USA, lucky you

Mine is working fine (just some rattles) and I don't have the time to disassembly right now and the dealer is far, so I will leave with them unless they get worse or some screws fall apart xD

I was inspired by your message (DonTom) and I tried hard to find the source of the rattle in my dsrx, and I found it and solved it! One of the two screws that keep the front in place was loose, and the metallic support was moving (also damaging the paint). Now it is silent and smooth! In my bike it was a Torx instead of a socket screw.

That's great you found the problem. Your info could help others that develop the same rattle.
