BuddyRich Posted November 9, 2008 Share #2 Posted November 9, 2008 (edited) Nope, but they are really heavy and I never could pick one up. Always rode the dang thing. Check for the whine and see that the radio works Edited November 9, 2008 by BuddyRich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squidley Posted November 9, 2008 Share #4 Posted November 9, 2008 the whine? He's talking about the clutch basket Tate. Some of them will scream a bit and they replace them with the I basket. You'll know it if it has that and its still under warranty, so no worries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenw Posted November 9, 2008 Share #5 Posted November 9, 2008 Got one and I love it! No problems other than finding time to ride it. Like was said above, they are heavy, especially in parking lots. Kenw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailor Posted November 10, 2008 Share #8 Posted November 10, 2008 Got a 2002 It is heavy but that disappears as soon as you hit the throttle. P.S. Avon Venom's seem to reduce the weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteSquid Posted November 10, 2008 Share #9 Posted November 10, 2008 Take the Motorcycle Safety Foundation riders course and buy a copy of Ride Like a Pro V, and the bike will feel a LOT lighter IF you practice what they teach!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PITBULL Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share #10 Posted November 10, 2008 Thanks guys but I think I have opted not to go with the '06. I would have had to trade in my Roadstar and Im just not willing to do that. Sure wish I could afford 2 bikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted November 10, 2008 Share #11 Posted November 10, 2008 That's kind of a shame, but I'm sure we all understand. I'd like to have Jay Leno's garage - well I guess more importantly money. Think of the motorcycle annex... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
