I have a 2004 just like yours. The first and so far only problem I had with it was the starter except mine would not even spin. I removed the fairing, removed the bolt holding it on, disconnected it from the relay, connected the starter to jumper cables connected to my car battery and nothing. It should be spinning like a top and pretty quiet at that point.

Don't buy a starter from the dealer. They quote around $250. I bought mine from a scrapper I found on eBay in Sun City. Went and picked it up for $50, had it installed in under 30 minutes and back on the road.
