Every bike I have owned has torque specs for everything. All triple clamps should be torqued to spec. After owning my 2013 since May, I'm surprised they arent more popular. I'm easily 100% faster on this bike.

All bikes have issues. I had three KX's that had the oil screen filled with strings of silicone from the factory. One of them lost a motor to it. I had an RMZ450 with a manual cam chain tensioner. I bent valves. Had a Husky TC450, weak factory valves broke and destroyed the top end. All were inherent issues for that model. Even auto manufacturers. Ever owned a diesel truck?

I'm sure we could all fill the forum with stories about failures from every brand. That's the great thing about the forum communities. And this forum in particular. It's a great place to over come these problems.
