I've owned a 2011 FE390 for 3 years now. The only upgrade I've done is bar risers (I'm 6'3" with a 34 inch inseam). I had a slow oil drip from the counter sprocket shaft - $80 for parts & labor. STARTING: these clutches "drag" until the oil is hot. When starting I always put the bike in neutral (hard to find with engine running) AND it needs a little throttle, especially when cold. (I never use the cold start.) When cold, and you go from neutral to first gear, the bike will try to lurch forward, and engine might die. I've been told by a dealer that they all this. Keep the front brake on when cold and going from neutral to first. LOTS better once the oil is at operating temperature. I really enjoy this bike - light, plenty of power for my dual sport riding. Just got back from a 5 day trip with 300 pavement miles and 3 days of dirt in Utah. Light, flickable, just a great trail bike - I think you'll love it, once you get used to the clutch thing. - (Ray in Southwest Colorado)
