I have a 2014 that I bought new, ABS, green mean machine! I am wondering what major repairs some of you might have had to do from zero to 10,000 miles? I know some bikes are lemons, some bikes are rode hard and put away wet, while others are babied and are just used to putt around on. I ride mine quite often, do not winterize it so that means year around. I don't baby it yet I don't ride it like a maniac either. Rarely get over 7 grand on the tach but don't mind doing it when I get up to 100 Mph.
Ok, there is the intro, now onto what I have had to do to my bike in the first 10,000 miles. We will not count oil changes, I hope you are all doing that all the time anyway! I am on my third set of tires. I had my stock chain go bad so I had to replace my chain. Hmmm, I guess that is it! I bought this thing to put gas in it and ride and so far it has rewarded me with great reliability. Anybody have something go bad on the bike that maybe I should be looking out for? I still have the original antifreeze in her but I bought some new stuff and plan on changing that this summer.
