Has anyone found a feasible and practical way to transform the front brake system into a dual disk setup?

I'd still keep an eye on the gasket. Had the same issue on my '15 and when I brought it in, the dealership could only determine missing coolant without finding any other fault The gasket did fail eventually and they had to rebuilt the upper end of the motor on warranty of course. No issues...

I own a '15 that is set up for track and street and I agree with all the above comments. More aggressive front brake pads, PCV and lighter exhaust is all I added to my bike above and beyond the fore mentioned.

I'm with issac. Add fuel stabilizer to your tank and keep the battery on a tender and you are good for a long time.

Yes, you need to ride it hard for the head gasket issue to surface quickly.

Ride the heck out of it and the gasket will fail within the warranty period if it decides to do so.

What m3hl said. Keep in mind that all modern engines are designed to reach operating temperatures quickly and work best in the upper temperature range. Don't sweat it as long as the temp gauge stays a couple of bars below the H.

The weather can be your enemy over there, make sure you invest in good cold and rain gear. Labor rates and taxes are high and you get hit with a 19% VAT on anything you purchase. There are limited track riding opportunities due to the limited number of tracks and I can't speak to the fees. If...

Mine did the same at less than 1K. My dealer had to do a total upper engine rebuild. After 10K it is still going strong and any of my friends that had a chance to ride it on the street or track want one as well. Love my little bike, no regrets.

Check for coolant leaks around the head gasket. Mine had the same issue and until I pointed out a miniscule coolant leak at the head gasket, the dealership couldn't figure out what it was and blamed it on the PCV I had installed instead. Long story short, there was an issue on many bikes with...

Sorry for the late reply. I had a PCV installed on my bike when the head gasket failed and the extensive repair was covered under warranty.

My 2015 bike had the gasket failure issue and I recall that it was due to poor head surface manufacturing. The mating surfaces were not machined smooth enough which caused the gasket failure. Air was introduced into the cooling system which rendered the water pump useless, hence the over...

Mine starts in gear as long as the clutch is pulled/disengaged.

Just received mine and read through the instructions. Did any of you find it necessary to remove the belly pan in order to support the engine while installing the sliders?
