With a heavy heart, I post this as my V3 PowerTRONIC seems to have died.
Bought 2 units, 1x for my Duke 200 (2012) and 1x for my Duke 390 (2015).
Installed the harness and unit on the 200 on March 4th, 2017 and have enjoyed the set-up ever since.
On March 13th, 2021 I set off for a road trip north, the weather was great, the roads empty and spirits high.
About 1 hour (70km) into the ride, going uphill, the engine cut.
Rolled out and stopped at the side of the road, and analysed the possibilities.
Figured the PowerTRONIC was the culprit as also non of the LED lights lit up.
As I have not had the dongle with me on rides after the first year, I unplugged all harness connectors and set them all back to the original position having the PT connectors dangling loose.
Happy the bike started straight away, hopped on and continued my tour for over 2,900 km through the mountains of northern Laos, visiting sites such as the latest Plains of Jars site #52 (Phakeo) and Long Tieng.
Upon return, I had a chat with Deepak A. from their customers' service department in which he confirmed the analysis of the unit being dead.
On March 25th, 2021 I uninstalled the harness and V3 Unit and will be riding without for now.
