Just a heads up on rotors
Not sure how many of you 09/10 owners have tried changing your front rotor yet, but if you haven't had it off the bike, I advise you do so before it sits too long. The genius at the factory in Tailand used 20 pounds of red Loktite on the bolts and I only managed to get two of the four out. The other two are going to have to be forcibly removed by someone with real tools (read: Not a home mechanic). So I advise any newer bike owners to break loose that rotor and clean out those bolts. A home job is now going to cost me at least an hour's labor with a shop somewhere.

Its so frustrating for a simple DIY job like brakes is now going to become a two-weekend job.

You want to see over-tight - crack your motor open, and try to get off the drive gear, the oil pump screws, the flywheel nut, and the clutch basket.
I swear they contracted Paul Bunyon himself just to tighten those nuts down. Freakin retarded.
