So what you're saying is, you don't carry a chainsaw in the bucket. Bad Boy Scout.

At 62k miles I put new spark plugs, adjusted valves, oil & filter, FD oil changed and lubed spines on the GSA yesterday.  Will change the brake fluid & sync the throttle bodies today.

Finally sorted the oil leak. After having the clutch cover off and replacing repeatedly with a new gasket (well, two in all), using instant gasket sealant, that was done. And putting thread inserts in where bolts were missing cause the threads had gone.

Except it didn't solve it.

I found that the shop I'd taken it to for a minor repair I didn't have the tool for had left the water pump bolts loose.......

After my week on the road with the Red GSA a washing was in order. I spent all too much time scrubbing places that are to private to mention. (god dam bike was made to keep it from being cleaned, too many hidden crevasses and hard to get to spots)

Even scrubbed the boxes inside & out.

Shinny clean now  ;D

About 2 or 3 weeks back I was doing a bit of tinkering on the gray GSA and some how f-ed it up (well could not get it to start the next day) It had no injector pulse. Today I stripped the powercommander off it and brought it back to normal. Started right up  :banana:

Took the boys, one at a time, for rides around the block. Two running and clean bikes & two happy sons Life Is Good  :bigok:


P.S. anyone looking for a Power Commander set up for a BMW 1150 ???
