I bought this bike around the middle of last summer with 15,500 miles on it. I immediately chased all the ground spiders out, dropped the rear suspension to lube everything plus changed the fork oil. Have since done a valve check and TB sync. It's completely stock except for the windshield going down automatically (WTH were they thinking?) and the seat, and is now almost at 30,000 miles. It runs like a scalded dog and gets over 50 MPG on the Blue Ridge Parkway and mid to high 40's on the big road. Having ridden Gen 1 FZ1's for several years, it's a definite step up and I plan on it staying around for a long time.
