Sounds like they really don't want to sell the bikes. Let them state their concerns...buyer beware and all that... I think Darryl summed things up well. Afterall, he actually owns one. My guess is these other people don't have the bike set up properly to be able to go that fast. Frankly, I see no re...

How many miles on the clutch? What kind of miles...all highway, mostly city, mix? I've got +80K on my /7 clutch and that's mostly highway miles, and all seems fine so far.

Oh, boy, an oil thread! 20w50 or 10w30 doesn't sound right for a transmission. My aftermarket Clymer says to use 90W hypoid gear oil throughout the drive train, 80W in the tranny in the winter. Personally, I would use a good quality 80w90 hypoid gear oil, GL5 rated. There's been some discussion abou...
