i enjoy your site; i have been visiting for nearly a decade, but i rarely participate in the forums.
my suggestion: when you do a write-up on a new bike, could you provide maintenance information, please?
for instance, i have been trying to find out if the valves on the suzuki C109 and M90 are hydraulic, and therefore self-adjusting, or if they're mechanical, and at what intervals they should be checked/adjusted. dealer sales people don't have a clue, and the cycle sites don't always include the info.
being advised of oil change intervals and other recurring maintenance is helpful, too.
i prefer the cruisers and i prefer low maintenance, as i am not much of a DIYer. LOL.
thanx,
steveinsandiego

Actually,
I gotta agree. Wouldn't take much space on the page, or provide a link to a web page with the info.
Lets face it, we've got busy lives, if on a choice of 2 bikes, 1 needs maint twice as often, I really don't want it in my garage. Especially since the competition seems to be doing better on that front.

I can tell you this much.
I've got 15,000 mi on my 109 in 10 months.
Oil changes are 6000km intervals
Factory tires lasted 13,000 mi for me
Owners manual calls for valves to be looked at on 12 and 24,000 km intervals.
I'm not 100% on it either, but believe they're self adjusting.
