*Outstanding Questions (posted November 11, 2009):

-Is the engine wet anywhere after riding the bike for 10+ miles (other than the primary drip)?

    *Head gasket, pushrod tube seals, rocker gasket, or anywhere else

      This stuff gets EXPENSIVE for folks like me who can't do the repairs themselves!

-Is there ANYTHING you can show a receipt on regarding the engine or transmission?

    *I'm still uncomfortable with not having receipts on either of 'em (or anything else)

    *How long ago was the engine work done? I remember you telling me a Mayor had it at the time

-You mentioned you use Royal Purple synthetic oil in the engine - what weight?

    *When was the engine oil and filter last changed - you told me but I can't remember?

       *Reckon I'd be ok switching to fossil oil or should I stay with synthetic?

    *What oil do you use in the tranny and primary? When have they been serviced? Do you use the same oil in both?

-I noticed some checking on the front tire - probably from just sitting around I presume.

    *Didn't see any checking on the back tire - were they put on at the same time?

-What's the story on the extra tranny that has the Andrews gears - is it good?

    *What do you know about the tranny that's in it (miles, etc.)?
