RE: 07 Problems
I have almost 1k on mine now. Great bike.
You are gonna want to havea sert added to alleviate the issue of the bike running hot. Sucks to have to spend bucks to do that, but, what are ya gonna do.
The other problems everyone keeps talking about are the 5th gear whine and 6th gear clatter. From everything I have read, seen and experienced, I am NOT worried about any of it! The whine is to be expected from that type of gearing and the clatter, well....don't try to ride at 60 mph in 6th gear and the trans won't protest by clattering!
You will definitely enjoy the ultra if ya get it!
