I have a 2009, got it in June, and I'm already about to blow past 4000 miles. Lots of streets, but I've trail ridden it a few times. TONS of gravel roads / fire breaks. No major issues thus far. Tires are showing their age. The airbox lid has a split, I probably overtightened it. The valve cover leaks, as does the oil cap.
I gotta say, for me to be learning how to ride on it (and dropping it) the bike seems very durable. I do worry about clutch life, riding trails I'm roasting the poor clutch. Definately need a bigger rear sprocket

I'd check (and probably clean/oil) your air filter, if you haven't recently. I clean and re-oil mine every few hundred miles, especially since I tend to be the caboose. Clean your chain and sprockets, and relube the chain. Also, I WD-40 the lower pivoting odds and ends, like the footpegs and the brake pedal.
If you already knew those things, then forgive me for wasting space

Got 1815mi. Changed oil and oil filter often the first 1000mi. Using Lucas semi synthetic 10w40. Back tire is about gone, riding about 60/40 street/dirt. Cleaned and oiled the filter twice, it's been dusty and i removed the snorkel. Had a few loose bolts and even lost one on the rear linkage during a ride. Almost every bolt has now been checked and/or loktite.
Got DJ kit on order...
I have enjoyed every mile...

I don't know engines and have always just loved to ride bikes, never mess with them. Now, firearms, that's another story. I'll build a 1911 in a heartbeat; I'll strip an AR-15 to bare bones and bring it back in no time... I've always been a gun nut -- that's my #1 hobby!
