Author Message   Gpb Posted on Friday, February 11, 2011 - 06:01 pm:        Well, got my bike serviced for the 1000 km mark at the HD in Bari (190 Euros, btw). Anyway: I love this bike. It's comfy and has a fantastic tune and feeling. It's damn powerful and fast but also gentle, light and a lot of fun to ride also on long distances. Great, great bike. Thumbs up to the american muscles.   Drhodes1970 Posted on Friday, February 11, 2011 - 08:22 pm:        Another 1000 km and this motor REALLY gets smooth. Have fun!   Duphuckincati Posted on Friday, February 11, 2011 - 10:57 pm:        I've got 5000 miles ('cause I is a 'MERICAN!) on my CR and yes, the motor fells nicely bedded in now. Gets nicer with miles for sure.   Zac4mac Posted on Saturday, February 12, 2011 - 08:25 pm:        It only gets better. 26k miles, I've done the valve check/shim twice now. I love this bike like none I've ever owned. Got my 25 year H.O.G. patch last month, been riding a few years. My XB9R was my first "sportbike" but far from my first fast bike. The 1125R makes the XB feel like a tractor...   Drhodes1970 Posted on Saturday, February 12, 2011 - 09:05 pm:        Zac- Did you need shims both checks?   Gpb Posted on Sunday, February 13, 2011 - 04:02 am:        When I ride my other bike, a Suzuki V-Strom 650, the first feeling is that there's something wrong with the engine...   Zac4mac Posted on Sunday, February 13, 2011 - 06:56 am:        Not the first time, they were tight but in-spec. At 25k, I replaced 6 of 8 to put them in the mid to loose end. Be careful, Don't drop shims in the motor Z
