Would second Ugarte's report. Mine (like his?) is one of the early ones (assembled in the summer of '04 and purchased in Oct. that year). Only had an odd 2nd gear engagement problem @ 10'000 miles. Fixed under warranty. And it did not leave me stranded. Have nothing else to mention. No output shaft incident. No idling or decel popping problem either.
Service intervals are far-between and have been totally devoid of "surprises". Oil consumption stubbornly remains about equal to zero. Never had to add a drop of liquid to the cooling system, etc. ...
And it's, by far , the most enjoyable mount I have ever ridden. Jamie, with best wishes.
