I feel for you law...Unfortunately I bought my bike used it only had 5600 miles on it when I got it .Just made the third payment if that helps any.It already had the longshots and BAK on it. One of my buds has an 05 with 29k on it and only had one issue with svs(although yamaha didn't bother to tell him thats what it was) I explained it to him yesterday. I did Curts deep creep flush this weekend and this thing was running like a scalded dog. I love this machine the way it sounds and handles i'm just not feeling the love back. I wish there were a way we as a r* community could get together and petition Yamaha for some brand loyalty of their own. It just seems after being on here for a while that the 04-05's have several common problems that should require a recall. I've wanted one of these bikes for 5 years and now that I finally got one.....I'm just heartbroke. We buy these bikes instead of HD's for the dependability factor...but so far its just not here... I just put on a new battery..Now I'm gonna try and find a deal on a voltage regulator then move on to the stator.....KEEP THE SHINY SIDE UP PEOPLE>>>I"LL BE IN THE GARAGE.
