My GEN5 had the recall done and it's for sale. I can give you the phone number of the mechanic who did the work. :) I would be surprised if there are any GEN5s that are NOT part of the recall. I got one of the first GEN5s (#401 if memory serves correctly) and the recall goes all the way up into the 2018 models.

Got my first bike back, but won't be riding it until this weekend at the earliest.

Appointment made for the second bike, which I'll just ride it up there on a telecommute day and sit there and work while they do the bike. Easy peasy.

I'll be 55 this year. But, everyone's "too old" age is different. There are guys much older than I am who are much faster than I am but my body is telling me it's time for a sit up bike. :) I had to give up dirt riding a couple years ago and some of my older buddies are still going strong at that. Wish I could still do it, was a hell of a blast and had been doing it for 50 years.

I'm happy to hear that there are other old coots still legging over the sportier bikes! I recently turned 45 years old and I'm now closer to the big 5-0 than I was before. My body is showing it's age and my butt can't stay in the seat like it used to. But my mangled head is still living the life of a mid 20 year old! At some point I'll likely have to change it over to a Hypermotard or one of them there Super Dukes. But these plastic wrapped worm burners will always have a place in my heart! It's never too old if you keep it going and don't get a Hardley! :lol: Don't give in! :helmet:

Your just a baby, I'm 53 & still comfortable on a long haul....

Is there a way to tell the dealer to replace the oil with the same oil you put in there? I'm sure they just throw in OEM Kawi oil, but I just threw Motul 300V in less than 500 miles ago and that shit was over $75 for the oil+filter...
