Pros- Power, ease to work on, reliable, (WHEN tuned in right)
Cons- Handling isn't all that (Would look into aftermarket suspension) Rear swingarm chain adjustment blows balls.

No real common problems. On the older models, stators are known to go bad a little sooner. J-arm bikes eat bushings faster.

The only major common problem is owners who don't know what they're doing and not tuning the engine right. haha.

Pipes, reeds, intake, shaved head, all good not overly-expensive mods.
