How can you tell what day of the week the bike was assembled? It might be interesting to see what day of week these problem bikes were assembled or where they were assembled!

in this case the previous owner bought this roadster new on credit and after monthly taxes, loan, and insurance from what I heard he could not afford to put gas in the tank much less ride it much, a case of big bike dreams and little wallet capacity..

Guess I wil have to flog the sh!t out of my '16 over the next 1.5 years to make the gears, shims and forks wear inside the warranty period. Ahhh who am I kidding, I planned to do that anyway. I didn't buy this monster to ride it with kid gloves on.

That was exactly my thought with my 05, tried to get it to break within the first two years. Put nearly 50k miles on it, the only things that "broke" were the oil tank O rings.

I think mine was built on a wednesday too, before the first marijuana break.
