So recently I had the good luck to find a new 09 R1 at a dealership.
09 R1s have a cam chain issue which I was not aware off but am now.
The dealer told me the bike is covered for 1 year if the cam chain issues raises its ugly head.
Any members with 09 R1's have any issues to date with the cam chain tensioner to date, what type of milage did / do you have ?
If its only covered for one year, am I out the woods for this issue or should I get the extended warranty ?
While its one of the best bikes I have ever ridden (CBR600 F2, RC51, CBR1000RR) I feel its like a ticking time bomb and don't want to sling it and myself down the road.
Last year at the Gap 2-3 days in my CBR blew a valve cover gasket, I can only hope the Cam chain does not deciede to come off when I return this year.
