I purchased this vehicle brand new on june 28TH, 2006. On july 7TH, I noticed a substantial amount of oil on my right boot. Mileage at that time was 269 miles. I was still in the manufacturers recommended break-in period, so I had not taken the vehicle above 5000 rpm's at all. I took the vehicle to the dealership on july 11TH, 2006. The mechanic diagnosed the problem as a head gasket leak/blown head gasket. Today IS august 3, 2006 and the bike IS still in the shop. *jb
