General Comments

Bought adventure new in Aug 2006, well worth the 3 month wait. First service, dealer (Perth) overfilled oil by approx half a litre (out of the top of the sight glass). Drained oil myself and advised them not happy. Next service at 10k exactly the same happened, dealer couldn't explain why it had happened again. 20k service done in Adelaide on way to Australian MotoGP, no problems with overfilling. 24,000 kms, final drive failed, replaced under warranty. Rear disc warped, fog lamp switch won't turn off, bike stalls occasionally on down shift when clutch dis-engaged, I then discovered it can't be re started in gear with the clutch lever held back, possibly faulty clutch switch. All to be attended to next service (hopefully). Bike has started jumping out of fourth gear occasionally, will have to watch that before warranty expires. Looking at ordering the update model soon before I have any more problems and I have to pay for them myself.
