I'll start.. on an RSV, it's a dry sump and to check the oil level.. you have to ride it for 20 minutes, then have to remove 12 bolts on the left hand side fairing and take it off to visually check a tube is 2/3 full. There is no dipstick or viewing window on the bike, just the previous which is from the official Aprilia guide to check your oil level.. :rolleyes:

most annoying thing on my bike is probably me! :D

Seriously though, the clutch is weak and can slip when the engine is hot which is annoying in town.

The lifter tick that evidently is normal for the VTX. I've asked a few different Honda techs and they tell me it's normal for the 1300 to hear it. After hearing a few other stock Honda VTX's I guess I would agree. Still annoying when you're taking off and hear tick tick tick tick.

Same thing with my vstar 1300. Ive gotten used to it, but still bothers me sometimes.

The engine and my license :')
Can only ride 48HP motorcycles :(
Nothing wrong with 48bhp bikes, I ride one by choice after having owned many much more powerful machinery and it still hustles along ok, was biting the heels of a Ducati on some twisties in my last motovlog vid! :D

I would have to go with the left side battery cover on my 2009 Harley Sportster. Terrible design, the little plastic clips on the top constantly let go and it would flop open. The bottom was only a small hook that it opened on like a hinge. Lost it all together on a the highway riding through Brooklyn and it probably got turned to dust by all the semi's behind me. I replaced it and yanked those plastic clips off and zip tied it to the frame. I carry zip ties with me anyway, so its a simple and efficient mod to solve the issue as i don't want to have to buy another piece of tin cause they are a little pricey.

400cc is too small for me... and my side mirrors are only good for seeing my elbows. I can't see ANYTHING else with them lol
