Overall the bike is great, however there have been a couple of issues. Maybe I'm just hard to please.
1) During the break-in period I felt the throttle response was sloppy. I then noticed that the cable was VERY loosely attached at the carbs. This was most likely a dealer issue, but was scary to think about what if it came entirely off and jammed the spring return open.
2) I was missing the water drain line from the air box. Not a show stopper, but still makes me question the QA at the dealer / factory.
3) Current issue : I have a power surge when moving the throttle from full to 7/8 ths open. Frustrating because the jetting / intake and exhaust are stock. I think this has always been an issue, but most of the time I don't ride hard enough to notice.
4) The bike is very difficult to start when cold. It has always been this way. Hopefully I can resolve this when I upgrade the air filter, exhaust and jetting.
5) It will not accept a center stand. This make chain maintenance a production.
Overall I love the bike, but it does have a couple of issues that can test my patience at times.
Regardless of any problems I have with the bike; it is without a doubt the best looking motorcycle made ( subjective yes, but you've got to be honest with yourself). :wink:
