They never found out. Well, a connecting rod broke, the end connected to the crank rotated 180 degrees to point downwards, and it punched a long grove completely through the case, spilling oil all over my back tire and my left foot. That's why the motor blew.

But they never found out why the conn rod broke.

Scary. Sounds like the 2012 recall problem. Was your bike affected by the recall? Was it fixed at the dealer?
I have a 2012 and the idle stays perfectly at the first line above 1k rpms. Don't know what that is because there's only 3 notches between 1k and 2k (1250?)
Either way it's perfectly stable there with no jumps whatsoever.
I have a 2010 and before I install my Leovinci full system the idle was steady. Now it a bit jumpy until the bike gets warmed up, then it's perfect again.
Well, okay some fluctuate and some don't. Any ideas as to why the fluctuation and what might be done to cure same. In the old days, we would have called this "surging". Personally I'd like to cure mine if not to difficult.
My bike is a 2010, and was not affected by crank recalls of that year. I *might* have had the lighter-weight crank, but I don't know.
It has been 221 days since the motor blew and my bike is still at the shop! I pick it up today. Hope it works right. If it does, I'll sign some paperwork and won't be discussing the motor anymore.
