Problems/Miles (Please be specific): | BAS (type) shut-off, 825 & 1200 miles. Shut-off at 1385,1395, and 1403 miles heading to N.C. Then at 2282, 2376, 2484, 2487, 2488 (twice) miles heading back to Florida. New BAS ordered --$25 is cheaper than $155 gas and toll cost for 2 round trips to my dealer. Rear wheel bearings at 12000 miles, while out of state. Had to eat the $160 towing charge, and 1 night motel bill. EXCELLENT service at Earl Small's in Marietta got me back on the road the next day. Replaced belt with latest "AKE" update at 24,000 miles - I had over 1" play in the belt, and the idler puller barely had any resistance on it. Still have pulsating front brakes, rotor run-out only 0.006. |

HID low beam, switched to PIAA fog light. PIAA driving light switched to high beam. All on @ high beam ! Buell heated grip kit installed. EBC HH pads installed. |
