The oil cooler gasket failed. No biggie. Recall for break light switch/wire for rear brake. Biggest problem so far is the Service Manager at my local dealership.

And the parts dept. Etc...........
 
I bought a new 2007 RK. About 200 miles my neutral light popped on while riding, it didn't matter gear I was in. Called the dealer and they said the factory had purchased thousands of ignition switches from overseas (which were defective) and it was covered under warranty. The said riding it wouldn't hurt anything. Brought it back in for 1000 mile service. So I'm riding back home and the light comes back on again. I called the dealer (a little (EDIT)) and they said the replacement part was still back ordered. I had called prior to bringing the bike in for service to verify if the part was in (more (EDIT) off) which they said yes. About 3 weeks later it was finally replaced. The dealer is 45 miles from my house. I should have insisted on something for their screw up but didn't know any better. Live and learn. Other than that, 25,000 miles bike runs flawless.
