Check out the thread below. I've got just under 3500 miles and no problems so far on my 08.

Of course, as with all forums, you can't believe everything you read.

HTHs!

That's great for tracking all the 110"s, but keep in mind that this mixes 07s and 08s. We're not out of the woods with the 08's yet until the miles start to rack up, but they seem to be less problematic.

[align=left]Just over 3k and oil leak at head on front cylinder. Dealer replacing both cylinders and supposedly a new type of head gasket- I love the bike when it is running - but for the amount of money spent I should not be with out a bike like this, this early in the game[:@][:@] [/align]

I probably have the most miles on my 08 SEUC (about 97500) I have not stopped riding since I got it. Iam like Forest Gump on a motorcycle. No problems and I run oil changes every 10000 miles. Oil is just gettin broke in.

9750 or 97500 miles? If the later, that's some serious riding
