    Just noticed while reading my manual that I found... The maintenance schedule for the 2012 is 8k miles.. Not 4k like the older models... Did that just change for 2012? Or earlier?

    That started to change when the VFR1200 was introduced in 2010 but it's not all models.

    Gotta say my dealer also said 4k until I showed the service schedule in the service book, they conformed with Honda so as not mess warranty and conformed 8k on 2012 model, not a 2012 registered ealier model tho
    about time they did they extended, Ducati are on 7.5k BM on 6K, its about having a bit of faith in what you build that it is durable, 4 stroke should be even to what these rev to

    Yes, the Slipper clutch does make the cable feel odd at times, almost as though it's snapped! :eek:

    Filtering and riding in the city tend to stretch it a bit quick.

    Is it a slight click sensation? I get this occasionally so thought I need a new cable too.

    It is unusual not had any complaints along those lines even on bikes with much higher mileage but were not city based.
