The rear rack on the 08 (maybe others) doesn't liek having gas spilt on it. Had to run to the store for weed wacker juice and spilt some on the rack and it kind of melted it a bit. Besides that, just loving having a bike that I dont have to wrench on every second day.

Thanks Dave for the reply. North on new bikes--I am envious! Stock tires do go away quick! Have you checked the valves recently on that new bike? revmaaatin.
