...just may be the entire bike. <24k, (1 failed ignition switch left me stranded in Death Valley), two cylinders down to 60/80 psi (what's up with that?), instrument panel recall to fix max instantaneous reading of 17 mpg.. Seriously, when I think on it, I've never had a bike fail so fast so soon. And I've had over 20 bikes in 40 years.
Still, I love this SOB but it's kinda feeling like owning a FIAT (Fix it again, Tony).
If the entire bike doesn't count as a farkle, I would have to say tires. They don't last more than 4k, cost a ton of $$, are a PIA to install.
Oh, tires don't count?
OK then,
1. Those stupid valve caps that show if your tire is low.. every last one of them suckas leaked..
2. Vista cruise (POS all around) -- Madco throttle lock rocks tho'
3. MagKnight protector (probably OK if not used with tank bag, but my bag has chewed the phuck out of the top color layer)
4. TourMaster tank bag - it flops around on the zippers too much. The bottom magnet part is attached with zippers to the upper tank bag section. After some time, the bag just kind of flops around from side to side. To much movement.
Sooo, anyone want to buy a 2006 with stupid air valve caps, a MagKnight tank protector, and TourMaster bag with low compression in cylinders 3&4??
