I've had it now for 4mos. Just came across this forum. Glad I did. I love the bike. My 1st 500 and since just hitting age 30, a much needed thrill ride. Bike was a mother to tune/jet properly. Bought brand new and wouldn't idle and fouled plugs. Got it squared away and have added the following.. FMF Gnarly pipe and Turbine Core muffler, 165 main and a #52 pilot jet, Uni dual element filter(these made tuning much easier and quicker throttle response), Azonic bars, billet throttle tube, Motion Pro throttle cable, and small misc. items. Around 40 hours on bike and rear tire is almost beat. I picked up a 110- Pirelli MT410 Scorpioncross semi-paddle rear tire waiting to put on over winter. Most of my riding is done in mid-southern PA in the coal waste/mountain areas. Here is a pic of bike when it was nice and clean. Rare to see it like this
