New owner in MN here.
Just picked up a new 2012 raven and while I've been too busy with work to put many miles on during the first week of ownership I plan on finishing up my break in miles over the Labor Day weekend.
I just came off a KTM 950 Adv and in my very limited S10 saddle time am quite happy with my choice. Really looking forward to an oil change that doesn't require removal of a gas tank, draining two oil tanks, cleaning two screens and the paper filter not to mention never hearing the snap of a failing starter clutch again. Overall I really loved that bike as it was bloody fast when the pavement went away but I will settle for nearly bloody fast and no drama.
I got a great deal on a raven and bought the full length YES warranty as I plan on hanging onto this one for a while.
With all the money I saved on a 2012 I had plenty to outfit it with exactly what I want with parts starting to arrive tomorrow.
Just poking around here I've already learned a TON so thanks to all of you. I haven't played with the two mappings much but already know what I need to do after break in if I feel the need for speed. The clutch switch mod is just crazy that it'd be that simple to unlock gears 1-3 and as someone who has played with maps and flashes on other bikes the Flash-Tune product looks like it'd keep me entertained indefinitely.
Cheers!
Pete
