Really outside of regular maintence stuff, the bike has needed next to zero repairs! Only things I've replaced were the CCTL once I "think" somewhere around 38k, and then a set of front brake rotors (warped) around 43k or so. Other than that, it's just been front brake pads twice (EBC HH), rear brake pads once (EBC HH), front tire 3 times, rear tire 7(?) times and need a new one again now, just changed the chain tues night for the 3rd time (and sprockets of course too), and spark plugs I've changed twice and ready for a third set. I kinda missed the boat on the first and 2nd valve adjustments, took it in for the first time at 41k for a valve adjustment and all valves were still in spec  The tech also commented on that the inside of my motor was clean and spotless, unlike some he'd seen even with much lower mileage. Also had the fork oil changed for the first time, throttle bodies sync'd, and coolant flushed and put in Engine Ice so if I do a trackday I'm ready there. I had also flushed all the brake fluid about 6 months ago or so. Oil changes every 5,000 with Mobil 1 15w-50 gold cap during the summer, and Mobil 1 MX4T 10w-40 during the winter and an OEM filter. About to turn 56,000 now and never once a single mechanical failure, never once failed to start immediately, never once run anything but absolutely perfect! Never even any charging system problems, it's been totally worry free and reliable up the ying-yang! Never done a single thing to anything in the tranny and it still shifts beautiful! Clutch and starter are both 100% stock original factory stuff... never had a problem with either and clutch still grips like it did when it was new

thirdgenlxi,
WOWOWOWOW DUDE. By any chance, Did u ever have tiny amounts of oil seep from the mateing surfaces of the right side crank case towards the bottom front???? I know this is an old post But I just got siked about my bike. I have the same Year & color you have. I bought it as a left over in 05, I had to go away to school for a while but eventually brought it up with me. Im just at 6200 miles . Its still a baby. After hearing All the success you have had with our model. Im completely inspired to worry less. AWESOME BRo. Im about to go drink a cold one in honor of this bike.

Thanks bro!! And sweet bike you got as well But yea man I LOVE this bike! It's served me sooo well, there's absolutely no way I could complain. She's gonna turn 90k tomorrow and still running like a champ! As for oil leaks, mine has zero oil leaks anywhere... still perfectly dry everywhere except where the chain slings grease on the left side. Oil pan, stator cover, and crankcase cover are all still perfectly clean and dry as a bone. Doesn't go through a drop of oil between changes (every 5k). When I travel and stay at a hotel I always park the bike inside the room on the carpet, and it's never left a stain 
So yea, when it comes to reliability... hey it's a Honda, no worries! Mine has NEVER let me down, never left me stranded anywhere, never even so much as a hiccup. Gotta love 'em!! Just ride it and have fun, it'll last
