Don't get me wrong. I love the way this thing sounds and pulls from 3500
rpm and up. Just wanted to pass my "fears" on to the list. I knew you guys
would help me out. I have now had the bike since this past Saturday and
have a little over 400 miles.
I really thought I would be able to make it 2 weeks before I put 600 miles
on it. Oh well, I guess not. Need to start making my plans for the trip
out to the dealer to get that done since it is a nice 100 mile ride.
