i beat my bike everytime i ride it, 22,000 miles and nothing but oil and brakes and tires. there are guys with 50k plus with no issues at all. and just about everyone has pipes and some airbox mods or no airbox at all. u have no worries. there is the rare occasion where someone has problems but that is with anything weather car or bike. so dont worrie about reliability. just enjoy it
