Was having some throttle sensor problems. Stalling while driving it fairly often.
Tranny was whining. Had bearing and race replaced 3 years ago.
Starter had some new and funky grinding sounds the past few months.
I ride often and about 12k miles per year. Was really not confident in the bike any more.
Took it to dealer.
Ended up with another black one, my favorite color, and this one has navigation but no CB radio which is slightly disappointing. Got new High Output 103 engine.
Rode it a little today and going out tomorrow.
I always have these second thoughts in my gut after I trade away a friend like her. Was just afraid I was about to be stranded somewhere. And then I would call her a [censored].
Any way, I now have a new bike for a few more years. Hopefully not my last.
I just do not like unreliable machines. Especially 2 wheel machines.
