  1. The 2A Aux circuit is 12V/2A which is 24W. When it gets to the USB port, it is converted as USB supplies only 5V DC. So the 5V/4.2A outlet also only draws 21W. So in theory, the wiring should be up to the task. People are just forgetting about the voltage conversion from 12V/5V it seems. It should be up to the task even with a twin 2.1A outlet. Of course I'm not an electrician and don't provide warranty.
  2. I changed the clutch cable myself recently. It hadn't broken or even shown any signs it was about to but I'm heading off on a trip soon and I thought I'd just minimise the risk. I've not had any issues with the CCT, the recall (if needed) was done before I got the bike. I got the bike when it had done 2800 miles, Its now done ~22k. I've had no major issues, although there was some rust/corrosion in the metal screed/dash support and on the brake pistons. I removed the screen/dash and painted the metal support. And cleaned the pistons as best I could with brake cleaner and some autosol to try to prevent any damage to the seals. At some point I'll probably need to replace the pistons but they'll do for now. I do live somewhere with an unpleasant winter, lots of road salt and molasses are used which has a tendency to stick to the bike and cause rust. So the corrosion problems may well not affect everyone. I've had the rear shock replaced under warranty (rust). As well as the side panels (cracking). I've never actually had a problem that's left me stuck anywhere though.
