Forgot a few things. Clutch switch broke. Clutch diode broke. Most of the rubber mounting things are gone.

I have had to fix some of the wiring with new connectors and also rebolt my engine.

Original tires replaced after worn out. Almost ready for my 3rd rear tire.

I will say that I don't perform the best maintenance on my bike and it has NEVER (18 months) been washed. Ridden in the mud, rain, sand, water crossings, been laid down a few times.

I do check for loose bolts, lube the chain, check the tires and lights, and change the oil regularly.

Also I followed the DS prep guide thoroughly before riding my bike. I think that proper setup is the BIGGEST factor in getting the most from your bike. This is what a good dealer should be doing and is why alot of these bikes that were bought online or from a roadside vendor have alot of the problems that they do.
