I did two third party requests and both told me they could not provide me with an extended warranty on this bike. Knock on wood I have had essentially 0 issues but would be nice for peace of mind. Anything under 500 for an additional 2-3 years and/or 10-15K miles is fair to me.
Green if you end up wanting to run a CMRA or two PM me, we're starting up a team for 2017 ULW endurance and sprints. Definitely putting you on sprints! Ha
Ha trust me we are all on the same page, going into the unknown a bit here. What is known is that from a fuel capacity standpoint we're at a disadvantage but that's about it on the knowns.
Bike will have suspension front and rear, exhaust, filter, and a tune. That's the gist of it.
Assuming there is some truth to the whole "good batch bad batch" theory, I would say that you and I had bikes built at a very similar time and consisted of a "good batch", possibly when the Austrian assemblers were at the plant assisting/directing on the first group. Essentially identical...
I haven't found anything specifically discussing this process so I was hoping we could get some of the experts here to walk us through what exactly happens, why it happens, and the rate / progression at which it occurs?
I personally am asking because I'm at around 6,200 miles now and what has...

- bent clutch lever
- scratched engine case
- scratched bar end
- scratched gear lever
Everything else on the bike was absolutely perfect. Something about the angles on the bike lead to a...
I actually think your BP is really good.
If you watch some of those kids in the cup series, they go way off the bike to maximize contact patch.
Edit: what is the setup on the bike suspension/tire wise?
You'll have a blast on the track with it, very fun bike with a limit that never seems to end. Do note issues reported on this forum though, will help you down the road.
Now rolling in on 6000 miles, no issues other than previously mentioned post regarding my radiator fan no longer functioning. Bike was out of commission for a week.
Was a blast, looking forward to the next one with you! Shoot me a PM if you want to go ride out in the hill country as the temperatures come down a bit, I have a nice loop.
1) Although some, or even most, would disagree, my opinion is that this is NOT a bike for commuting. This isn't a grocery getter, something you take to work, etc. In short, it is not for going from A to B. This is a track toy, canyon carver, and so on. I am actually of the opinion based on what...
