Longtime lurker. Just traded in my 07 Lightning STT on a 09 1125r! bittersweet as I'm getting worried about stator and rotor. Bike died several times riding after sitting a half hour prior to riding home from the dealer. Vapor lock? It had been very hot sitting in traffic. Has not died in the 2 short rides since. What a pita to check oil and change it! Where do you find oil filters? Does the K&N 564 work?

Now for the good: powerband is incredible compared to the Lightning! Aero is spot on for highway. Gearbox and suspension are much more refined. Looks very cool. It's red!

K&N 564 is correct. For oil changes, if you drop the screen and change filter, just dump in 3 quarts and you're good. At least you now only need one oil, not two.
