I passed the 172,000 mile mark with mine (81,000 miles on the current top end). Still runs like a champ.

You guys have some catching up to do.

67,000 miles is barely broke in.If there's one thing I've learned here and the 5 yrs I've owned mine is that our beloved EVOs are damn near indestructible.....I said damn near.

So far, I'm loving the bike. It shifts out great and runs good. My left foot seems to go numb when riding. The forks seem to have a lot more spring than shock, lol. Its all good though. It cleaned up really nice. The only thing cosmetic about it that is wrong is the corbin seat has small cracks all over it. I actually didnt know it was a six speed riding it home from the dealership and pulled another gear. It darn near went to idle at 65. I have noticed a small oil leak when parked. I have been told its when they stop leaking you have to worry because its out of oil. Anyhow, I need to service this thing asap, the oil drips are not real fresh looking. Hmm, got some reading to do.

Friend, once you go EVO there is no going back.
Your bike I'm guessing has been sitting for a bit before you bought it...?
Either way it should be tight head to toe.
SOOOO...
The front end shouldn't be springy. I would change out the fluid for starters that might tighten it right up.
The leak, I'm thinking that maybe you have some synth oil in there. Buy some good, classic, non synthetic oil like Hd or Belray (my personal pref) and that leak I wager would go away... one can hope.
As for your foot,
Try a different sitting position. YOur saddle is worn you said so maybe you want a change? Before that though, try shoving a small pillow (hell you can duct tape) under your butt to see if this helps. that will give you an idea of what type of saddle you might want padding wise.
If no change of your foot, I would take off the back shift lever to give you foot more placement options.
Ride on.
