Hard to find some parts!
Very top heavy! Some Issues that need immediate attention! Replace all brake lines!! Charcoal canister needs to be removed! Security system needs to be removed or replaced! Pain in the {} to work on due to all of the plastic has to be removed to do any work on the thing! Cruise control is problematic! I love the bike, but dislike the fact that the manufacturer controls the speed! Speed can either kill you or sometimes get you out of trouble! I THINK!!!!
