Hi everyone.
I'm considering buying a used 2010 C5 (Military edition). I just got back from India and have ridded a few bullets and just love the bike and the sound. So I figured I'd get myself one back here in the states.
However, I just started reading about all these reliability issues these bikes seem to have. Particularly, since I'm planning on getting a used 2010 model with the UCE engine what should I be watching out for? The sprag clutch seems to be a big issue, are the 2010 bikes affected as well? Do they have the new, stronger design? Would a VIN number help to find out?
Any good reasons why I should not buy a used RE?
This won't be my daily rider, just for little puts around town and maybe the occasional couple hundred mile weekend ride. I have another bike that I plan on using for touring.
Thanks to all for this valuable forum.
Cheers,
Thomas
