Dealer said it was the engine temp sensor which went bad. I'm not exactly sure how the sensor went bad (only 18K miles). Issue apparently is resolved now (as of an hour ago) but brings up another issue/question:

Even on the new bikes, are there items which habitually have less of a lifespan then what would be routine such as oil filters, fluids, etc? I would have thought the lifespan of many of the electronics and parts would live well past the 18K mark.
