Limp mode 6 or 7 times-maybe more. I lost count
Inner primary bearing twice
Compensator twice
Front wheel bearings twice
Rear wheel bearings once
Broken fairing brackets twice
Primary chain tensioner
Primary chain
Starter twice
ABS
Stator
Horn twice
Inner fairing fading-turning white
Radio crapped out
Plus 1 bent front wheel, 3 rear tires and 1 front tire. These were unfortunate events which were not the bike's fault.
OEM warranty covered a lot of it. ESP has paid out more than I paid for it, including deductibles.

Well, I'm gonna knock on wood here but she's been doing pretty good lately.
I've waited to long to trade it in. It's got too many miles on it. Earlier this year I talked to a salesman about trading it in for a new one. He said because of the miles they could only give me 8 or 9, maybe 10k for it (I can't remember exactly but it was quite low) and I'm not gonna cough up that much difference.
I've got 2 yrs and 2 mos left on the ESP so I'll ride it out and rethink it then.
I've got lots of friends with HD Touring bikes and they never seem to have problems. I guess I'm just lucky that way.

I just bought a 2015 Trike, don"t know how you folks feel about three wheelers. I am older now and my Deluxe and I would wobble when stopping and on take off. I would like to know what a fair price for regular service should be, I think $300.00 for an oil change and checking for loose bolts is a bit too high.

You might be better off starting a new post... keep in mind,,, hourly labor today is running right at $100 an hour - Change your own oil?

Agreed. I bought a 2 year powertrain warranty with a 3 year tire and wheel warranty for $1,100 I think. Had to have the bike in a couple times and no issues with the warranty covering repairs.
