[Dr. Evil]

Let me preface my story/question with the facts.  3900 miles, the only mechanical mods are: a SE a/c kit, SE race fueler, and SE 2pc slip-ons.  

So I went out to the garage this morning... turned the switch on and noticed some unusual letters on the radio display.  Didn't give it much thought... think it said "L I F" or something to that effect.  

I hit the start button and the bike turned over strong but wouldn't start. So I tried again.  Still not starting.  I smelled fuel.  so I looked around and found that there was excess gas coming out of the a/c housing dripping onto the cam cover.  I pulled the plugs and they were soaked.  

I gave the bike time to dry, put in fresh plugs and tried to start it again.  Same thing.  So I gave it some gas in the midst of starting and she started to run momentarily (VERY, VERY BADLY) and brown and white smoke poured out of the exhaust.  I kept her running a few seconds with the throttle hoping it would clear up.  

She shut herself down.  I looked around again and found the same fuel at the a/c and on the cam cover, and this time inside of the exhaust tips.  So much so that it spilled out onto the floor.  

WHAT THE F@%$ IS GOING ON? HELP PLEASE [smiley=nixweiss.gif]!

Do you have any more codes popping up on your radio?  Your owners manuel has some translations for the various codes.......otherwise, call the dealership (service dept.).

[Dr. Evil]

No additional codes showed up.  And I never figured out what the original one said.  I pulled the seat and noticed that the SE race fueler wasn't lighting up, as usual, upon ignition.  All connections still intact.  So I pulled the gas tank and removed it.  Changed the oil/filter.  Installed new plugs... and whatdaya know?  Started... no more fuel waterfall.  Apparently, this part and any other DFO will cause a fuel injection overflow upon failure.  4 months old and a HD part takes a crap?  I can't say I'm suprised... just very annoyed... and grateful I was in my own garage when it happened.  Dealer says it's safe to install another one "only the second one we've heard of failing".  I think they can have it back and I'll be doing a download cartridge.

I heard from my local dealer that they had more than one problem with the RT and were leary on putting them on.
