The easiest/best thing to do first is have your dealership run your VIN and make sure all recalls were done. | ||

Wheel bearings, belt condition, main wire harness at the steering head, check all for damage. | ||

Flhman - There are showstopper problems, but there are a few things that tend to go bad: 1 - The throttle cables will likely need replacing. They get banged on by the forks. The 07 Uly comes with a plastic guard that helps keep the forks off the wiring harness and cables. Get one for your 06. 2 - The 06 fuel pump chafes it's wiring and will eventually stop working. You can remove the pump and reinforce the wiring. 3 - Rear wheel bearings are problematic. There are new bearings for 09. Have a pair pressed in the first time you change the rear tire. 4 - The muffler will rust. Paint it or coat it. 5 - Some of the 06 had ping problems. 6 - If it came with a D616 front tire you may get interesting handling. |
