Sense frustration here fer sure, but your always guaranteed to have something else bugger up, while you've just fixed something else. Honda's are better than most for reliability, worse bike I ever had for a hopeless cause was a BMW K100, which is funny cause the most reliable was another BMW (RS650).

My father has an old K100 so I know what U mean.
Since we fitted him one of those electronic ignition systems we have had far less problems except for the oil leeks

He know bought himself a Triumph Sprint. We'll see how that goes

One thing breaks, never! Muhahah I had my F3 out last night for the first time this year to make sure it's still alive and kicking. Oh yeah! She's pretty healthy still, burned off the rest of my rear tire before I replace it this weekend. Just had to throw the battery in and she fired right up.

Back to your woes, a huge factor with this metric shit is to be sure you always have the right tool. Without tight tools, your just kicking yourself in the nutz. Poor tools will help break things in the long run. What exactlly broke on your bike?

my f3 has 62000 miles on it, i ride the piss out of it daily. Aside from a few minor things, and routine stuff...its a ducking beast! What exactly do you do to your bike to make it break? Ive even crashed a number of times, i picked it up and keep goin...weird?

It's amusing to me to kind of witness the unfiltered sociological interaction among die-hard enthusiasts while in and out of their respective elements.
