1190sx reliability

Yes, you should get it. Stay away from the 'Facebook Experts' and ask questions from the Real Experts (NCCR).

What are you going to doing with it? Race? Track days? Street? The few people with the very rare engine problems are typically modified and racing, or abusing them terribly. You can ride it hard with no issues, it's lugging them and lack of maintenance on a high strung "Full Race Engine" (Erik's quote) that cause issues.

Keep the chain slack within spec (25-30mm), don't lug the engine (5-6k rpm minimum cruise), you'll need to rotate the engine for the valve adjust but it's MUCH easier than it sounds.

Check for the dash/ECM update from EBR, get a 43-44 tooth rear sprocket for a more realistic riding comfort, Oberon clutch slave for HALF the clutch lever pull, quickshifter (plug n play) for pure enjoyment and ride it a ton:)

This is a street only bike and i ride pretty hard but not redline Hard. I have a 2018 rsv4 as a racebike so this is only a complement for the road.
