So, I've nearly had the Stelvio 5 month's now. Was thinking about the "kwerkyness" of the bike, or also referred to as "problems..."
Summary:
Bought 19/04/13
Distance covered to date: 11073miles (5months)
Problems/Issue's/Kwerkyness:
1)Crush washer leaked and replaced on oil transfer line under tank.
2)Fork seal's went
3)Alloys corroded to sh1t internally
4)HT Plug leads went
5)Head stock bearings buggerd
6)Exhaust gasket's leaking
7)Drive Shaft UJ's seized
:S
Items 3 - Caused by someon adding wrong tyre sealant to rim's
Items 6 - Bad maintenance
Including servicing, tyres and above, I have spent around 2k in addition to buying the bike...
Not moaning or being negative, but FACTUAL. I do a lot of miles (all be it has reduced significantly recently) and has never left me stranded next to the side of the road or had an issue I couldn't fix on the fly. .. Just gets my back-up to read other forum's and have guys say, " well, my bike has done 50k miles and mechanically never broke down" or " I had to replace a brake hose, thats it".... I have several parts suppliers on speed dial... :S
