Thanks for your thoughtful reply.
I don't think of it as being a bearer of bad news, but as something that rider's should be aware of....
....especially on a product that is expected to be "rider maintained".
As a consumer, I want as much info on the product as possible. Both good and not-so-good.......and to know if a problem is a simple fix, or more involved and costly.
I hope people don't misinterpret all my questions as being negative to CSC.
Quite the contrary. CSC has consistently gone above and beyond in supporting the RX3.
However, in one of CSC Dude's blog posts, he said that they would prefer problems to be discussed directly with CSC, and NOT on the "forums".
I think open discussion is beneficial to solving problems.
For example:
Because of open discussion, I was able to correct several potential issues on my DR 650 that could have become serious and expensive problems.
...neutral indicator bolt
...counter shaft seal retainer
...upper chain roller
All simple fixes, if done before they become an issue.
Not sharing this information would have been a disservice to DR owners.
IMO, reporting issues openly, by actual owner/riders, not the "keyboard commandos", is beneficial to all owners.
