Have not had a chance to get the computer back yet but i installed the plum quick bandit over the weekend and everything is working fine, no stalls, no reduced speed and it bumped me up to 24MPH, the only thing that i noticed is after i road for a hour or so the motor was hot to the touch, is this normail after a pretty good ride, thanks,dusty

Good. There's a small chance that your MOTOR STALL code was coming from a bad motor. It's usually voltage, but not always. As for the heat issue I wouldn't be too concerned with it. My PQ motor is more aggressive than the Bandit so I realize I'm not comparing apples to apples but mine gets pretty dang hot. I've never had a problem with it at all though.

Thanks for all the help, i talk with rick at plum quick again and he said that the motor would get hot after a long ride but as long as i could touch it for 3 to 4 seconds that he would not worry about it, the biggest thank not to do is stall the motor. Thanks for the post and if there is any other small upgrades that i could do to get a little more speed and touque let me know, fixen to put a back seat kit and light on it. Thanks,

not sure about DC motors but Ac motors run about 70 degrees over ambient temperature normally .
In other words if it's 80 degrees outside the motor runs at 150 degrees....which is hot to the touch
