Since some don't think i contribute to the Doo forum here goes .......
Doo issued a new update list on the 9th. There will be a new belt which is a little wider and i'm sure it will be much better than the 166. How do i know this, i actually saw it for my own eyes today. It is a lot harder compund than the 166 and looked brand new after 200km with hard riding. Some dealers received a few to try them out and get a feel for them. They sit in the secondary much better and initial reports suggest they are really hooking up better than the 166. So maybe we might just see a little less heat.
Doo also issued a update for the S buttons on the dashes. I guess a lot of the little magnets kept falling out from behind the button. The new updated buttons have the magnets built into the rubber button and should work better. If you have had a glitchy display and the modes seem to change on their own or act funny this maybe your problem. You can remove the magnets from the S button from the dash button and just use the S button on the premium guage only if you have it.
Another thing Doo is finding is some of the displays are quitting or acting completely wonky. Some have had differences in the analog speed compared the digital speed. There is a wire which is red/blue that sits just behind the muffler and has chaffed through allowing to change the voltage in the wire. Check it out because it will cause you grief if it starts to rub on the rivet.
Doo is fully aware of the driveshaft issue. No reports on what will be done. Some have a little weld left and others have had the weld completely machined off smooth which will cause the failure. Some are good, some are bad. Take a look and see. If yours is perfectly smooth, you might want to drill a couple holes in it and get it spot filled with weld. If not you might just have to pay for a chopper ride if your lucky enough to ride in a area with chopper service.
Another thing Doo is finding are the DPM rail solenoids are caving causing the machine to run sort of like it is only running on one cylinder and cutting out and what not. Thats all the details i have on that one. So if yours goes maybe check it out.
Ah nothing like first year issues. Enjoy !
