On the other hand, there's no use panicking because one guy has a lot of trouble with his bike and tells us about all the problems. There are 4000 other members on this forum htat aren't complaining about anything. I have had very few things go wrong with my bike that couldn't be fixed easily by me, and certainly no more problems than I've had with any other bike, and I've owned 50 or so.
I like to hear what problems other guys have, but on the other hand, when I had a crankshaft pickup coil go out on my Triumphs, starting wit my '95 Speed Triple and continuing to my 2006 Scrambler, I could certainly let the other guys having the same problem know what their problem was. And I'm still hearing from Triumph owners battling the problem.
So it is good to know that the possibility of a problem exists and what the cure is, but to worry about something that might happen to even 100 out of 50,000 isn't worth calling the product a POS. I don't I worry about my Enfield any more than any other bike I've owned any more. It might get a touch more TLC than some of the others, but that's because it's easier to work on than the others. But believe me, I don't coddle it. Since I got the cafe racer thing done, I pretty much just wash it, occasionally. And ride it a lot.
It's a great bike and I love it. It will definitely fall into my top 5 all time favorites. And those can be adjusted to depending upon the use.
