Thoughts about the V100 after one year

I love mine too!
I don't have any complaints about the OEM Pirelli tires or the QuickShifter after 3,700 miles.
I am having to top off the coolant reservoir with about 6-8 oz. of coolant about every 350-400 miles, but I'm not seeing any leaks or anything coming from the overflow tube. Hopefully, it's nothing to be overly concerned about.

Check the drain from the coolant pump. If the water side seal is leaking it may be why you are topping up the coolant.

Would I be seeing coolant leaking from the bike if this is the problem?
I've checked the engine oil for milkiness and that looks fine. The service manager wants to check it over thoroughly to make sure it's not a head gasket, but I'd think it would be smoking from the exhaust if that were the case.

Sold my V100 S after 10 months of ownership. Overall great bike bud did not match my expectations. The biggest disappointment was Öhlins suspension, stiff, not really comfortable and not much better that standard mechanic solution.

I felt the same stiffness when I first picked up my bike. My dealer assured me, give it 5,000 kilometers and you'll be happy. At around 4,500 I found myself stiffening the suspension when 2 up as it finally starting working. Not sure how many miles/kilometers you put on yours but mine definitely improved with use.
 
Got my V100S in December 2023 and am now up to 4300 miles. Given I was away for 3 of those months I feel I'm doing alright. The bike continues to be a joy and I've no real issues. The oem tyres are OK and wearing reasonably well. When they come due for replacement I'm planning on fitting Continental Road Attack 4's. I've no intention of going on gravel so that's not really an issue.

Sounds like we’re both doing about the same with the exception of mine having coolant disappearing. It’s going to the shop tomorrow to begin diagnosing what the problem is.
I’m planning on buying the same tires at replacement time.
 
Update posted here on new TFT replacement.

Battery life new V100?

Scott, I measured 38 milliamps on mine, key off, sat overnight without trickle charger. Sounds like you have much more leakage. Maybe get a small clamp on ammeter on yours and start pulling fuses?
