...I've been reading about the gremlins on the 1125's and I have searched extensively and found a few issues still remain in the 2009 models(the lighting, which can be fixed) and a weeping clutch cover... I have not read any cures to the weeping clutch? Does anyone know if this can be fixed by the dealer (should my bike start leaking) or what is the home-grown remedy for it? Does anyone know what causes it (poor finish on the seal surface, etc?) In general, are there any "issues" with the 2009 1125's that a semi-mechanically inclined owner couldn't fix without too much difficulty?

There is an issue with the lighting? Other than you can never have too much, the stock lighting is fine.

Clutch cover weep is fixed with a kit that replaces some gaskets and junk under the cover. Warranty will take care of it if you got one of the few that weep. I got two 1125's, neither are weepers.

I think he is confusing th CR for the lighting.. Each is best where its designed to be great.. The CR to me is a much better street bike.. And personally I think the CR looks much better. It looks like it should have been on transformers.

guess that's a relative phase as his concerns are either myth or covered extensively on Badweb
