Yep, it was mentioned in this thread, page two:  https://www.electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=10623.0

Sounds pretty simple, but annoying.  Bad batch of parts.

Took a couple of minutes.

My bike has been in the dealer since Tuesday. It's Thursday & I haven't heard a peep from them. Starting to wonder what's going on

A switch only takes a few minutes to actually swap, doesn't it?  I mean, there's the whole it needs a bay, you have to take the lever apart, not drop the little springs, and so it takes time prepping and testing but... Seems like it should be an in and out thing, like a oil change.

I picked up my bike yesterday. I called them. They said it was done on Friday but they were having phone problems so that's why they didn't call. Good thing it's not riding season

A certified thing was attempted to be delivered to my house, and I also received an email. I was not at home to receive the letter and havent gone to get it.
