I was going to say $0. But it was $165.

I had been doing 2 oil changes a year plus all kinds of PM. But this year I have been riding the bike so much I didn't even put 7500 miles on it. And the AOS was more than a year ago

So the only money I have put into it in a year is the push rods for the top. I was in a hurry and the latch caught the lip when the top was opening and the force of the motor snapped both ball cups (intended failure point). It was wet out and I just wanted it fixed so I went over to the local dealer and got the parts right there. I had it fixed within a day so I justified the extra money of getting it at the stealership.

Now thats not to say that I have $$ in needed work. I need a new water pump (age only, still works fine), coolant flush, motor mount, brake rotors, pads, passenger mud guard thingy and an alignment. Good winter projects I think.
