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.

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?
