My Rocket is in the affected range and has not had the update kit. I bought it with 30K miles and have put another 10K on it with no problems. I don't lose any sleep over it.

Mine has 27k miles. Where does one get the update kit in case I ever need it?

It used to be offered as a kit, through dealers if determined it was needed for warranty work (or generously, often out of warranty), for about $250 I've heard. Eventually they fixed as many as they figured needed the work within a reasonable time (and/or too many people were taking advantage of it and stockpiling the parts), and they stopped selling the kits at a huge discount. Now you usually can't find them as a kit at all, though I recently searched and saw one European dealer advertising it for 1,900 Euro.

Here's the PDF giving the full list of parts and some procedures beyond what's in the service manual:



I started pricing out what it would take to buy all the parts today individually, and got this far (in USD):

part a: $206.90
part b: $32.60
part c: $12.62
part d: $183.99
part e: above $200… I quit part way through.

Welcome Lethal from the UK. You've found yourself a cracking bike and the long ride home was just the way to get to know her. May you have many happy hours together.
