[QUOTE="user 90243, post: 1412706, member: 90243"] First of all congratulations on your 2010! I bought mine from Freedom Powersports of Lewisville, TX, five years ago. $9,000. 10000 miles. The only thing I would add to the good advice above is to replace the battery immediately. My battery was 4 years old, approaching the time when I begin to suspect failure. I rode to my shop here in Colorado, and the battery test showed that it was very near failure. You didn't mention anything about tires. Though expensive, this will be a vital Improvement. I get mine from RevZilla. If there is a better tire than the Michelin 5, tell me quick! I run 40 PSI front, 42 PSI rear. Also, the cheapest OEM parts that I found in the country I get from Georgia Watersports, whose website is partspak.com. congratulations again on owning a fabulous motorcycle. By the way, I had my valves checked at 20,000 miles and they were all in spec. Synced the throttle bodies last weekend, and they were nearly dead on. [/QUOTE]
