how many miles on your '05+ Sprint?

So, tell me, how many miles have you done on yours? AND, what issues have you had?

OK,I'm first;
I recently turned 23Kmi on my '06 Sprint just shy of our 1 yr annivesary.
ABS failure, covered under warranty
Brake issue, got larger MC, no change
Chain and sprockets at 22.5Kmi
Currently running a bit rough, will check the valves and plugs, otherwise, was advised that it may be a TB manifold leak...will post findings.

I've got about 15.5K miles on my 05. I've owned it for 25 months now. I've put on the larger front mc and had to relearn how to brake, that much stronger. Only problems I've had are a set of fouled plugs, and a broken one way clutch on the starter...oh yeah, and not enough time to ride.

I got mine {the fast red 07 st } in March and just hit the 8000km mark .
Not one issue or problem , well not counting the one month suspension for speeding .

No brake problems ; No heat problems ; No problems .

Bluey, turned 2 in June, he has 60,420kms, first chain and sprockets replaced 38,204kms, second chain and sprockets 60,204kms.

The only real problem has been the drag link, grap rubber as in battery strap, foot peg rubbers and relay holder, no valve shims as yet will check soon, oil and filter changed every 6,000kms, thanks to PantherDen parts inter change abilty using Ryco Z445 (suit Nissin cars).

As the ks start piling on have notice the motor is really responsive, and no need for TOR the exhaust seems be getting louder or maybe its the K&N filter, have cut about 1cm off the air snorkel to give more even spread, the original really get very dirty.

Also the body on lower fairing has lots of stone chips, from occasional gravel road.

5000 miles since March of this year. I'll have over 7000 by the end of next month.

No problems at all. I'm getting ready to do the 3rd oil change and the tires will need to be replaced after the trip next month. Can't wait to get rid of these Bridgestones!

Got my 07 Black ABS in mid-May this year. Almost 3K miles and no real problems to speak of. Crappy stock tires. The minor heat issue seems to have gone away with the addition of the TOR and just breaking in the engine. The headlamps need to be re-aimed and there are a few things that are really hard to get to while working on the bike but all bikes have that issue. Nope; pretty happy so far. Just did nearly 300 miles yesterday in the Mendecino hills and I could have gone another 100. These bikes are fun!

Red ABS '06, purchased in May of '06...16,000 miles (and I have two bikes)

*Off the showroom floor, front end shudder above 80mph true, corrected with my own balancer and Avon Storms. Dealer could not fix.
*Front rotors warped, replaced under a wrestling match of a warranty.
*Blew fuses when hitting the starter button. Battery terminals were loose.
*Clutch retaining nut (30mm) loosened up, evidently never torqued at factory.
*Can't get the headlights adjusted in a way that makes sense.
*Forgot to mention the relay, battery, and footpeg rubbers are shot, searching for a dealer that can replace these under warranty with a smile.
*Drag link bolt bent and replaced under a recall.
*Too easy to break the speed limits, but that's ok...
