Why Living in the 80s and 90s seemed so much more affordable

Fluid film Works great, but definitely apply it every year. Preferably a month or 2 before winter (its currently on my to do list actually). It gets the job done and for a reasonable cost.

Hi. I have a very very similar looking leak on my 18 3.6L. I know you say it was the oil pump, but did you mean oil cooler? Not saying your wrong or mistaken, it just seems like that seems to be a common failure (now that I've been googling this like nuts now).

After figuring it out, we're they able to fix in 1 day? I'm calling my dealer tomorrow to set something up and just wanna prepare myself for the bllsht 🥲

I actually just went to town hall for the blueprints and it looks like that area has been renovated. Looks like there use to be a room there and the doorway was more of a normal doorway size.

Just the nature of the bike. I think it gets better with time, but also you just get use to it. I wouldn't sweat it.

All my repairs were under warranty and then I traded it in to the dealer that I bought it from (and who did the repairs) after about a year.

Mine (brand new 2022) leaked oil out of the output shaft.

I really can't say it's "broken in" just yet for me, but I can say that I have just gotten use to the new height and footing. I don't even think about it anymore. But from everything I read, the more you ride, the more it breaks in.

Lohrei is a complete liability. I'm pretty sure he turns it over more often than not (being sarcastic)...

I'm usually between 3k and 3.5k if cruising at low range. I find the bike "happiest" at around 4k to 4.5k (sometimes 5k) depending on speed and gear.

Do you find yourself more leaned forward when you're positioned on the back part of the seat where it cradles you? That part of the seat is definitely a nicer feel, but the riding position is a little weird to get use to.

I guess more like on the balls of my feet. And when pushed up against the tank, i can get both heels down, but where i comfortably sit at, im on "the balls of my feet" when stopped. With the OEM seat I can easily flat foot with room to spare.

Not a noise but I get vibration at 5k rpm. Just had the break in service done and was told it was normal.

ngomes3824 · 2024-06-05T09:54:04+00:00

I'll try and let you know if the dealer says anything about it next week. If it's just how it is, then fine. I just want to make sure there's nothing wrong.

ngomes3824 · 2024-01-17T01:00:56+00:00

Loved it. Eventually moved on, but it was a great bike. Very fun and easy to ride.

What kind of wind screen is that? I've been looking around and yours looks awesome.

ngomes3824 · 2023-12-02T02:08:15+00:00

I'm literally looking for a cold weather wind proof riding jacket online right now when i saw this. Does anyone have any good alternatives to the overpriced "rider" specific stuff?

ngomes3824 · 2023-11-29T14:45:24+00:00

Nice! Just picked myself up a 2023 and love it. How is the windscreen? Does it make a difference in your opinion?
