Noticed something getting flung up on side of my seat at one stop on the trip home.


Looked closer at what it was, OMG! oil drooling outa my air cleaner cover.

That was at a rest stop, after fueling up I pulled off into a parking space with a handful of windshield paper towels, got out the handy dandy HD switch blade "tool kit" thingy to pull off air cleaner cover.

WTF? No 5/16" hex wrench on it! WTF? Good is it?

Dig deeper into saddlebags pulled out set of ball tip hex wrenches, wiped out housing of excess oil and has been fine since. Maybe if dump hose went a bit deeper into throttle body?


Guess I'll watch / clean it more often...
