And that’s my issue. When I go on a trip, I’m always wondering if the bike is going to make it.

Yeah, the cam chain tensioner is another known problem with the S1000. Luckily that’s the one issue I haven’t had.

Love it, but can't deal with the reliability

In 14k miles on the XR, I'm on my third battery, the ignition went out on a trip in Georgia, and my water pump just went out in North Carolina last week. In 40k miles on the Busa, I just changed oil, plugs, filter, and added gas.

Hey all, former Busa junkie going thru withdrawals lol. I traded in my 2011 after about 40k miles for a new GSXR1000. I do around 4 trips from SWFL to the dragon a year. The Gixxer was too uncomfortable for the 600 or so mile trip to the mountains. I picked up a Triumph Tiger, didn't like it. I...

I ordered RKA bags from Pashnit about 2 years ago. I ride to work everyday and utilize the bags. They have held up great with no issues.

Just paid my 6 month premium last week. 278.68 thru State Farm and that's the only vehicle I have covered with them.

Pretty chilly here tonight too.

Daily driver rain or shine. Makes the daily grind a lot more fun.
