I used to live in Idaho and know that route well! I'm sure that it was a nice ride. As for your problems, I had a connector come loose under the seat, too, and had the engine keep cutting out. I don't know if this is a chronic problem with these, or not. I plugged mine back in and put electrical tape around it, and haven't had any trouble since.
I'll be the ride up to Sun Valley and Galena Pass would be awesome.
