New Member Back Again...

02-19-2012, 11:01 AM

Back for more input, please.

The 05 RT's had major upgrade/change with the FD, and being the first year model for that change should I be concerned about the FD bearing issues I've read about?

Also, are there other significant "issues", if any, that I might be aware of, specifically on the 05'?

This isnt am attempt to begin a Bashing Thread at all. I simply have some concerns, I am already sold on the BMRS and Lord willing, will own one in 2 weeks!

Thanks in advance

Don't worry about the rear end; Just ride the heck out of it.
