400+ miles in. You were correct to point out the spokes, a few have loosened up. Chain slackened up a bit. Had a heat shield bolt rattle out somewhere, caught it twice with the Allen key, but it never got any locktite. Lost a tool box bolt. Calipers have seemed fine, no movement when I try. Lost about a half quart of oil. She’s been on her side a few times. No sliding, just falls in field and yard. Plus pick up practice. Bent gear lever into a horse shoe. Replaced with an abandoned 150 gear lever from the woods. Slightly bent handle bars during a fall. Thanks to my cook hands, keep resting hands on muffler shield and not noticing at first, “It’s just the sun hitting that side panel. Nope, that’s your hand on a muffler!” Battery died recently, stranded at gas station. Looks like stator can’t keep up with factory lights. Getting ready to do an oil change, gonna be looking at the screen and old oil. Speedometer reads 58 when gps says 50, So odometer says more miles than true. Haven’t heard from seller since he last said he was contacting his distributor. I don’t plan on getting any of my free gifts anymore, guess the charger was an idiot tax also.
Still hard to stop riding and not have a stupid grin on my face.
