Components are expensive and thing do go wrong, regardless. Also, it depends if you have the tools and experience to sort out small probs. I don't mind fixing things and have most tools to do a job.

I've had a few issues, the low idle issue, paint started coming of the engine within a year, spokes tarnished at the mere sight of water, Kill Switch broke. Bike isn't 4 years old yet.
Little things, but it would be nice to get them sorted by the dealer.
The silver paint flaking off the barrels is the biggest annoyance. Really poor show...
Yep, it's the barrels more than anywhere on mine. Which they'd just left it bare and clear coated it.
I'm considering trying to paint them in situ. with some HT Paint.... But then I'm also considering selling the CB this week, so it may never have to happen ;-)
