Nope, but they are really heavy and I never could pick one up. Always rode the dang thing.

Check for the whine and see that the radio works

the whine?

 

He's talking about the clutch basket Tate. Some of them will scream a bit and they replace them with the I basket. You'll know it if it has that and its still under warranty, so no worries

Got one and I love it! No problems other than finding time to ride it. Like was said above, they are heavy, especially in parking lots.

As rough and tumble as you are...you shouldn't have any problem with the whine

Got mine in May of 2006 just had 16,000 mile check up. Had front end wobble Got it tightened up A- OK now. Had No problems with it. The wobble showed up about 16,000

 

Love it.

Got a 2002 It is heavy but that disappears as soon as you hit the throttle.

P.S. Avon Venom's seem to reduce the weight.

Take the Motorcycle Safety Foundation riders course and buy a copy of Ride Like a Pro V, and the bike will feel a LOT lighter IF you practice what they teach!!!!!

Thanks guys but I think I have opted not to go with the '06. I would have had to trade in my Roadstar and Im just not willing to do that. Sure wish I could afford 2 bikes!

That's kind of a shame, but I'm sure we all understand. I'd like to have Jay Leno's garage - well I guess more importantly money. Think of the motorcycle annex...
