Took me a while to find the correct forum for 2007...
OK, I´ve had the tracer for 2 months now. I fell in love with it first thing & bought even though the engine revved a little funny when I tested it out. I didn´t use it very much during the first month and won´t need to as I live on an island & don´t need to go very far. From the start, the alarm was very sensitive, so I stopper arming it.
Soon after, the automatic start wasn´t always working and after a month, it wasn´t so the guys from the shop picked it up & fixed it pretty soon. It then had the same problem the next week. They fixed it again & it ran very smoothly. I was now using the bike a few times a week. Soon after, they replaced the carburator & it was OK again. Then the electrics died completely & they replaced the battery. On the bright side, the kickstart worked for the first time. A week later, she´s going in for a 5th time after just 120 miles.
It´s a cool bike, but I started chatting with a guy making a delivery near my office and he was pleased with the bike. He puts a heavy load on the bike & was OK with having had to go to the shop 10 times after 5,000 miles. The shop is pretty generous with their maintenance plan & I´ve heard nothing but compliments about their quality of service, but I think I´ve hit my breaking point with the bike.
