A bit of a bump. I did get around and change the oil and filter in the bike today. Had a heck of a time deciding on which oil to use. I was...
Check out the photos, no white film just burnt oil film.
It really sounds like the case is cracked, maybe around a bolt hole from being over tightened. Like Squirrelman said, if you can find the spot it...
Viscosity is, very simply, how easily a liquid flows. High viscosity oil flows more slowly than low viscosity oil. Think of syrup and vinegar,...
That may not be anything, but it could be signs of rings sticking, maybe burnt valves or valve seats due to the burned/roasted oil, and a...

The thing that bothers me is the OP talking about the rear end bouncing when leaving a stop. I wonder if there's an issue with the cush drive?
Yeah, I've got a load of routes down in Arkansas that I created using BaseCamp. Sure works nice not having to look at the map all the time when...
Yeah, here's mine: [IMG]
