My bike has seen more time in the shop under warranty than any other bike I've owned. I pass on this experience for the recycled electrons it is worth as the replacement parts alone can be expensive.
That said, I am keeping the bike because the handling, comfort and capability are so far above anything I have ever ridden. |
Sounds similar to my R1000s experience. Had the motor torn down to fix rings that never seated. Burnt oil like it was going out of style. Then at about 35K the final drive took a dump. Thankfully close to my home. Warranty covered most everything. But I still love it cuz its so fun to ride. I figure everythings been fixed so I won't have anymore problems.....
Fingers crossed
Have an 08 DUC 848 with 15k on it now. Has been flawless...
