GREAT bike. 35000 on my 05 no problems. when you service it in the future cut open the oil filter. any bright orange specks or pieces are the cam shoes. i went to gear drive around 20000 shoes looked fine
Van, Thanks for pointing out what I can look for. I am going to wait a bit before I replace the cams.
SE-Randy, I had to have my engine rebuilt in 2007 and am now just playing the roll of the dice game, trying to get as much as I can out of this engine before I do something different. Not everyone had problems, but I did. Left me stranded in Nelson, BC, and I live in Virginia.
Don't worry one bit about things though, you truly do have, as many have pointed out, the very best of the CVO line. The 103 engines have just been fantastic.
