One precaution there is a weak spot in the cases for the starter gear in the older bikes. It doesn't fail often but it can and the only fix is new cases. One member managed to fix it but haven't heard lately if that held. That weak point was fixed in later models. I have 2 2004 bikes and neither one has had any problems at all and I ride across multiple states often. Moe rides across even more.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
