They are going into the rear cylinder. . .

Most excellent.

Great, now just look things over here and there after the next few rides, for maybe loose somethings oil seeps or staining like a really slow leak. If you see any oil staining wipe it down/ off and kep an eye on that area till you know it was just excess that showed up as the engine got warmed up if it doesn't return.


My '06 had a seep at the base of the rear cylinder in front of the trans case, never went in there for 91,000 miles, just kept cleaniing it off from time to time.

[MrSurly]

Oh HELL yeah!!!!!

[Big Cheese]

All is well!

I've been watching her very carefully! Interestingly enough, they put dino in her and told me to have it changed to syn after the first 500 miles.

I'm wondering why they used dino?

To aid in break in. Helps rings seat better with new cyl walls. Syn for the long run.

My experience with him was not pleasant. The tune was not good. Had to go back to him, and things were still not right. Asked some questions on Harley Tech Talk and received some scathing emails basically "how dare you question me you low life turd". The more I learned about tuning, the more I learned that he doesn't know crap about it. I v-tuned it myself, made some adjustments to timing, and some other tables and it ran perfect. He won't touch another of my bikes. Any monkey can get the VE's close enough. It's the rest of the tune that separates the tuners from the hacks. Ed is a hack.

Also cheap enough to easily toss out at 500 mi w/ the initial wear metal contaminants.

Thank y'all both. I took Thursday off so I can ride back down to the valley and have Mad Boar change the break in oil. I'm thinking I've found my new mechanic.

FWIW, I am planning to go with a powervision soon, just so I do not have to pay for multiple dyno runs. Glad I do not have a teenager around to mess things up.....

Ms T., glad you are up and running again!

Good choice Nub.

Tonya's back on the road!
