Hi All , great forum learning lots. My 2006 has 23000km on it. Bike is in great shape , some fairing damage as it was dropped from a standstill but nothing major. I've done an oil change and added some seafoam to the gas tank and noticed it running smoother now. The bike runs amazing , but does have its rattles and noises and after searching the forum i am assuming these are normal as the bike runs fine. I do need to throw a a new pair of tires on her for more confidence as the front is a little worn and the back had a hole that I plugged. What i've noticed so far is that the bike likes to run in the higher rpm range. 5-8000. Just wondering if anyone experiences "rough" shifts , or problems catching neutral leaving first or if thats just my newbie skills. I also notice on the cold canadian morning here i get some white smoke coming out the exhaust but goes away once engine is warm. I've pulled the air filter out and noticed a little bit of oil in the box nothing major. I was thinking about doing the front wheel bearings and steering bearings wondering how hard of a job that is? thanks all for your help.
