My rear tires burn like nobody’s business. It’s not really an issue, but it’s something to budget for.

My biggest issue has been parts availability. The problem is that as these bikes age, OEM parts can be hard to find.

I’ve heard of a few people having water pump problems, but I think that’s more common on the earlier models.

The clutch slave cylinder usually leaks. It’s annoying when it happens, but an easy fix.

It’s pretty common that electrical gremlins happen. The rectifier and stator have given me problems.

A plastic fuel tank may swell over time, which can cause fitment issues. It's not a cheap fix either.

I have honestly not had any major issues with mine. It runs like a dream as long as it’s maintained regularly.

The fuel pump is a notorious weak point. In 30,000 miles I have had to replace mine twice.
