VLOG: Rusty Ryker and failing fuel pump?

I'm taking the Ryker for my work commute today, and I'm talking about some of the pending issues (and problems) that are occurring with my Rally. Skip to the end of this description for clickable time indexes.

I was exchanging messages with another Ryker Rally owner about maintenance issues and failures that he had with his unit. So far, my issues are just cosmetic and alignment problems, although my fuel pump might be going out... not sure yet. I tossed in a quick slideshow of the rusty wheel hubs and other areas on my Ryker that are becoming a nuisance.

I plan to drop off my Ryker at the dealer in the near future to have the 3500-mile oil change performed, and also to have them start warranty claims on the rust issues... we'll see how that goes. I will definitely ask them to check for any additional recalls or TSB's for my Rally and also to check the fuel pump noise.
