| MY MAINTENANCE RECORD |
Except
for oil changes and that type of thing, most of what I do to the
bike is done during my winter downtime. If I can't be riding the
bike, at least I can be working on it and getting it ready to
ride! |

It wasn't the size of the bash plate hole that was causing the oil puddle, but tipping the bike far over to the right side to get the last of the oil! Man, it's tough getting old... |
