Also, what kind of oil/filter do you guys use? I know the bike has Synthetic in it now. What shops around are reputible, and reasonably priced?
Keep your chain clean and lubed. Check tire air pressure regularly

Tires usually last about 3000 miles on an average.

A rear tire should cost you between $150-$175 installed.

K&N oil filter with Motul 300V full synthetic oil.

Does it affect you that much that some random guy 1500 miles away went and paid his own money for a 1000?
Do we really have to fight over who uses the back brake or not?
Do you have to argue over stupid pointless shit on the Internet?
