LOL, I apologize. I completely meant to do that when I started but accidentally omitted it.

It's a 2009. I bought it new exactly 1 year ago from Manassas Honda Kawasaki. They are the one's doing the service.

Sorry again.
DO NOT GET YOUR BIKE SERVICED THERE. THEY ARE CROOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I took in my TL1000s last year because it would not hold an idle and was throwing an error code. They kept the bike for 2 months charged me over 1k in service. I rode the bike for 1 week and it started doing the same thing. I downloaded the manual for it and found the error code. I was camshaft position censor. It cost $25.00 and took me 20 min to install it. The bike has ran fine since. I called and told them that they didn't fix the problem and what the real problem was and they basically told me to go F*** myself. Do not do business with these people!!!!!

I picked my bike up from them last night. Since Richmond is the same distance away I'll probably be taking it there in the future.

As for the blinker fluid.. I did that when I rotated the air in my tires and lubed my muffler bearings. LOL!

Also, I checked out the tire-cupping thing. When I got it home and pulled it into the garage I looked at the tire. There's a flat spot on the left side of the arc, all the way around. As soon as I saw it I knew what it was from. It's from where I position myself on the interstate. I'm always just to the left of the center of the lane so that flat spot is from me riding on the side of the raised part of the road where the car's tires ride. It looks as if I rode in a circle for a few hundred miles, LOL! Definitely needs replaced.

If you're headed to Richmond, Ultimate Cycle has been good to us with the GTPP extended warranty. It might be worth your while to check them out.

You may also want to try Village Motorsports in Unionville, VA.  They are located on 20 between Orange and Wilderness.

Purchased my '09 from the same dealer in February of 2011 also thanks to a post by powrtrippn on LS2.com.  Haven't had the need to take my bike in for anything as of yet but I'm thinking I'll go to Coleman Powersport Falls Church when it comes time to get tires and my TPS monitors replaced.

How about this for a cupped tire:

The only thing Coleman Powersports in Falls Church has going for it is location. Inside the beltway and nothing else is remotely close in Montgomery County, MD or northern VA. Check prices with Motorcycle Factory in Woodbridge, VA or Manassas Kawi before getting bent over the service desk at Coleman.

What I do every other oil change is suck the fluid out of the brake and clutch reservoirs and replace it. I think it helps keep the fluid fresh, a total flush should not be needed that soon like you said.

Huh? :o

Man, I must be getting old.  I missed that one.  Thanks, Poke.

So how's the taste of that stuff working for you?  I mean, does it taste worse after it's been in there a few thousand miles or does the taste improve somewhat?

Try Motorcycle Factory in Woodbridge. A lot closer to Stafford than Manassas HondaKawa, and I've heard nothing but good things from people about their service.

I've been to Manassas a couple of times, and had no issue with warranty stuff. Had a venting issue in the tank, and they fixed it and gave me the bike that night before they even contacted MawKaw for warranty authorization.
