Well, I've been putting it off for a while now but I am taking the 14 in to the shop on Saturday.
A while ago I had the valves adjusted, they reused the valve cover gasket so you know what happened...
that's right. The dreaded oil leak. Not enough to drip on the ground, but just enough to sit on the headers causing smoke on start up. I'm planning on doing some longer rides this year so I decided I took all I can takes, I can't takes no more. While they're in there I'll have them check the valves again and clean the motor which is filthy.
Who knows, this year has been decent financially, I may even spring for a new set of Metzler M7s!!!
