at 946 miles my crank shaft position sensor went out. dealer had it fixed in an afternoon, and said they havent seen many of this. would it suck to have happen on the road....h*ll yea. but nothing else is wrong with my bike. i still trust it. leaving next week on a several week long trip with it. if something does happen (knock on wood), well then i will get it fixed under warranty and be on my way.
