10000 Miles

Well I’ve turned past the 10 grand mark and all is well. I did the rear brake bleed recall just for safety even though I had no issues. I’m still very much in love with the bike. I just put on my third rear tire. Both generations of Rockets eat rear tires but I love it. Who else has high miles on the 2.5l bikes?

Congrats!
Did the dealer agree to do the brake bleed or was it included in the recall?
Asking coz my dealer said my bike isn't in the recall but the rear brake sucks a bag of d!cks, and not sure what to do. Thanks

What does yours feel like? Mine isn't included in the recall either, but it feels "soft" for lack of a better term, though, it's always felt that way, so I have nothing to compare it to for this bike.

As Jackrotten said, it was soft and squishy, and felt that my foot had to push far down for it to work, and it even got worse if pressed repeatedly like in slow traffic...etc.
Anyway, passed by the dealer today and had the service manager try it in their parking lot, he agreed that it drops lower than it should and he said he'll bleed it for me at no cost, knowing that my VIN is not in the recall. He said that he had to bleed a couple that were not in the recall. So will pass by sometime next week for it to be done.
