23,000 miles in six months around the USA... no problems.

Then 5000 miles [racing] from Paris to Dakar... no problems.

They are a sound bike.

The only issues people ever seem to have had are a badly fitted connector on the reg/reg (an easy check and fix) on certain model years... plus the cush drive rubbers wearing 'prematurely' - although since Yamaha have never said how long the cush rubbers are expected to last, it's just something that wears out, like tyres and brakes pads... again, if you want to prolong their life, there is a quick and easy fix on the forum here...

Enjoy the bike, it really is an excellent all-rounder...
